I have only found 2 people who have gotten onto the site - I signed up months ago - never received a password, they would not respond to repeated emails, etc. After that I started receiving tons of unsolicited spam mail. A researcher from another list sent me a genealogy hoax site with it listed on it. I responded the first time I saw it - not knowing that EACH county would eventually get hit with those strange email addresses - (county name)@(county name).com........I should have noticed that right off! ===== Researching the following lines: BIALI/BIALE, BORDELON, BREWER, BRUNELLE, CARBO, DAVENPORT, DEVORE, DICKERSON, EDMONDSON, ETHERIDGE, LABORDE, LANDRY, LEEBURG, MASCARO, NORMAND/LENORMAND, PONS, ROBERTS, ROTJER, SHOEMAKE, TALTAVULL, TERRAL/TERRELL, WHATLEY ,WHITTINGTON, LOWE, HYATT. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

You're right. I have received this on 4 of my genealogy mailing lists. I actually did sign up and then got a confirmation # the next day, but when you try to get into it, there are many other confirmations that you have to do, and I just deleted the whole thing. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Beverly" <gen_stuff@yahoo.com> To: <LAWINN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, October 01, 2001 7:04 PM Subject: [LAWINN-L] "new research site" BEWARE > I have only found 2 people who have gotten onto the site - I signed up > months ago - never received a password, they would not respond to repeated > emails, etc. After that I started receiving tons of unsolicited spam mail. > > A researcher from another list sent me a genealogy hoax site with it listed > on it. > > I responded the first time I saw it - not knowing that EACH county would > eventually get hit with those strange email addresses - (county > name)@(county name).com........I should have noticed that right off! > > > > ===== > Researching the following lines: BIALI/BIALE, BORDELON, BREWER, BRUNELLE, CARBO, DAVENPORT, DEVORE, DICKERSON, EDMONDSON, ETHERIDGE, LABORDE, LANDRY, LEEBURG, MASCARO, NORMAND/LENORMAND, PONS, ROBERTS, ROTJER, SHOEMAKE, TALTAVULL, TERRAL/TERRELL, WHATLEY ,WHITTINGTON, LOWE, HYATT. > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Listen to your Yahoo!
