Terry and all, This is something to be watched for. In this case, I doubt there was an attempt to use the information for monitary gain. I corresponded with an individual about another family name and received very little info. from him but everytime I gave him anything, he wanted all the documentation It got to a point he was demanding about the documentation. As I found out through other means, he was an associate editor for a "Family Letter" published and distributed for a yearly price. He and the others in this publishing co. were making money off of other persons work. They were definately a for profit company. They advertise in Evertons. I have never had a problem giving what info I have. I can understand Companies, such as Family Tree Maker, for protecting the privacy of living individuals in the World Family Tree. They are open to law suits. My 2¢ also.
