I have been reading all these postings back and forth. I think we have had enough and its time to move on and talk about our research and work on that. Pay for information and services seems to be a part of genealogy whether its to a state agency or a private individual and while get information for free is great. We need not come down upon people who wish to get some compensation for there hardwork. IF you do not want to use a service then dont get what information you can and move on. But don't take a resource away from someone who may want to use it. Well thats my 2 cents plus some. To all those who make any information availble via the internet THANK YOU for hardwork. Jennifer
