A good point is made about privacy. I do not mind having my name and information in the genealogy research, but I have one sister that would not like any information published. She has not only been a victim of identity theft, where they got to her bank and her credit cards, but she was also a victim of stalking. I think it should be up to the individual about having thier information listed and just what information is listed. A while back, there was a site listed on one of the groups I belong to that listed bogus genealogy sites. If anyone has this URL, would they post it? I made the mistake of subscribing to a bogus site once. When I first started doing genealogy I was a little (okay a lot) stupid. I had posted to many boards on the different families I was researching. I got an individual email from a woman (or said they were) who said she had a lot of information on the LaFerry side of the family and that for $25.00, she would send it to me. I sent her $25.00 and what I got in return was the name of a husband and wife with death dates. No birth dates or places, no children, no death places, just the dates. Had it been more informative, I would have thought the money was well spent. When I get a new computer, I am going to start listing all the information I have and saving it to CD. I will share what I have with anyone that wants the information. Jan
