I think what the problem with some people........Perhaps even myself, is that when you have worked with your own research for many years and share it with someone and they turn around a put it on Ancestry or Genealogy. com as their own.........early research mistakes and all............or, you have shared your information with Ancestry & Genealogy.com, which some of us did in the beginning.........then, when we want information and pay for it we get some of the information back that we already did ourselves. I have given my research freely to any "cousin" who asked. I worked for several days inputing a particular line of a family into my computer just so I could help out and share it with another individual only to have him put in immediately into Ancestry. com as his own.....but, there is no way that can be helped and it's not Ancestry's fault..........but if you pay for information you hope it is right and most often when someone gives information to a company like Ancestry/Genealogy .com it is not always correct and it keeps perpetuating and sooner or later becomes fact whether it's right or not.......
