    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/HGB.2ACI/473 Message Board Post: I've been getting some strange and weird replies to my queries.I've become so turned off by these so-called researchers who proclaim to be such experts in genealogy. They never or rarely ever state who their sources are and post research items they recieve from other people on these messages boards anyhow .I've had these so-called researchers admit to me that alot of the info they post weren't even their own research. I had someone e-mail just yesterday correcting the spelling on a ladies indian name and what that meant. I challenge that person or anyone else to prove/show me that it's not possible to find vital documents and such on the ancestors that they're researching or already researched where name spellings and the like always match.I have found so many different spellings for surnames like Belonger/Belongea/Belonga/Belanzhay and corruptions of other surnames on census records,birth,baptismals,deaths,marriage,and on the Ottawas Chippawas Census,population census,,indian annunity payment rolls,boarding school records,church records and records that are on file at public libraries. As an example I recieved a e-mail the other day from a lady that was correcting the spelling of a Indian name in my query on a relative that's on another branch of my family tree which I posted to help a cousin of mine.The cousin I was helping read and spelled the name off of a record he'd recieved. Noone is responsible for how something is typed or written on a document.Take us all out to be shot and hung.Will the people who are the perfect researcher Please Stand Up. Cherie Eck-Tebo
