Pardon Me for Budding In - If you are not willing to share your information with others, whoever they may be, please just do not communicate with others. Remain self-centered, hide your information. What good will it be after you are gone. I do not believe God meant for us to do for ourselves and the dickens with the rest, if they want it they can pitch for themselves. Genealogy is searching and researching the past, enjoy what you are doing, but also rejoice in sharing with others. Most will appreciate your hard work.

I know this is a tender subject but most people don't think of the work and money involved in creating such documents - if you don't want your work 'stolen' don't put sources on line. Personally I source the person who created the on line document and then the relevant documents I subsequently find, eg census, marriage record et al. This has occasionally been the only way I find the trail again on my rather elusive ancestors. However if you have made your work pubic record by putting it on line expect it to be used as such. Nuff said Ginny .

We have worn out this subject of ethics in genealogy and Marilyn has said to take it elsewhere. As I am list-sitting for a few days, I will repeat, "This topic is closed". Regards, Sharyn NB List Aunt

This will be my last post on this subject. I am Very willing to share my information as others have shared with me. But all I would like is to get credit for the information that she took, as I do for others. I guess everyone is not as honest with this kind of stuff, but I am. The person in question was also taught by me on the beginnings of genealogy, especially the sourcing of the information. Thank you to everyone for their comments on this for me, good and bad, I accept them all :) Also thank you for the links given to the list. Everyone keep up the great work. I love this group.
