    3. Hi Nancy, What you have described is my pet peeve. I've had the same problem with sharing my info and finding it posted with errors. I have a new policy on sharing-when I list vitals, I just list the year and cite my source. If they want the month and date, they have to go to the source themselves-which is what they should be doing anyway. : ) Yolanda (Campbell) Lifter Malabar, FL http://www.ohiofamilyresearch.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "NM Meyers" <nmmeyers@centurytel.net> To: <OHLORAIN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2002 1:18 PM Subject: [OHLORAIN] Going crazy! > Every day I find more and more of the research that I have done on my > family lines posted on the "net" somewhere, and often reproduced with > errors.
