Hi Doug, How goes it!! This has happened to me also, only a bit different. I gave all the information to a cousin, she passed it on to another "List member", and they posted it. Much of it is so wrong, but the sad part is my cousin got the credit for it!! No mention that I gave it to her, I beat the pavement, gathered all the info, interviewed the families, got the photo's and got nothing in return, not that I asked but one good trun deserves another I think. I even asked the gal that posted it for a picture to the one that connects to my family, but it's like she never heard of me. And we have exchanged a few emails. Now I am tight with who I give information to, and photo's. I have been more than generous with any one who is willing to trade, but the end has come. By the way Doug, is this the family that you and I seek?? Learned the hard way.
