    3. sorry if this is a repeated message, but I know one of these lists posted about this website a few months ago, and I would like some information. Is this a legitimate site? worthwhile? I had a "genealogy cousin" who asked me about this, and I told her I would inquire. I believe some listers had negative feedback to give to this site. Please email me privately if you don't want to clog the boards, but I would like to know whether this is a worthwhile site, or if I'm wasting my time even looking. Thanks. Marcelle

    3. Marcelle, I have heard, second hand, that the owner of the site "borrows" or links to data from other websites. I don't know if this is true since I am not shelling out the $60 fee to find out. I do know that he has had a very lousy ebay feedback rating. I have never seen so many negative comments for anyone on ebay. Most of the comments pertain to exorbitant shipping/handling fees. Mr. Abodeely lived at the first address shown below last year. FamilyDiscovery.com used to keep the physical address a secret since it wasn't displayed on the site. The site is now showing the second address below. Ken Forbes Puyallup, WA Elias A.
