Dear List Members, I don't know how many of you have gotten back into the old country in your genealogies, but thought that I would pass this on - as I strongly believe that information should either be bought legitimately or made free by permission. Nottinghamshire, England's Family History Society has discovered counterfeit CDs being sold on EBay of their 1841 census images and transcriptions. These are NOT sold by the Society on Ebay - they have their own sales site. Right now, there is an identifiable error on the counterfeit cds, but that may be corrected in the future. The entire text of the warning is attached below (posted with permission of the author). No one is sure what ELSE might be on those cds, so if you think you've purchased one, I would recommend scanning it for viruses and whatnot and contacting the society (CDs aren't too expensive to send to England if they ask for it). So - buyer beware.
