I'm still trying to get ahold of Paul Lien to ask about the Foundation .He also stole a map once from the Vault in tallahasse when we were there doing research I did'nt know anything about it untill the man that let us into the vault asked me about it. it turned up years later some where. Him and a buddy of his went to a site making believe they were me and a friend of mine who had made an appointment to go there and Jim got wind of it and went a few days earlier and told the owners that they were us. On and on it goes. Lots of things keep popping up in my mind. Let me know the URl of the site I'd be glad to look at it ,up to you. " This is NOT, I repeat, NOT a fake message and I have the e-mail correspondence to prove it. I was shocked at the content, but these former colleagues of his know him better than I do.

The major one was that this same person, Gray, was actually passing around a document that had been altered, and which he claimed was genuine. It was a Confederate compiled military service record card, which had the fake inscription "Australian soldier" written on it. What was even worse was that he used that document to obtain a grave marker for the Australian born person, named Robert Farmer, whom he had been trying to claim was a Confederate soldier, for several years. Then he managed to get this fake document, and passed it around as genuine. I was able to spot, immediately that it had been altered, due to the two different handwritten inscriptions shown on it, but, by then, it was too late, as the Veterans Administration grave marker had been obtained, although we were able to prevent it from being installed. I have been trying to warn many persons that Gray has been indulging in such practises for years, and even from the 1970's when he resided in Florida, but nothing was done to stop his activities. Now, with the fact that he was using this fake document, and other recently discovered fabrications, including changing the name of his own great grandfather, just so that he could claim to be a "direct" descendant of a Confederate veteran, we have been also able to find out that his fabrications have not been confined just to Australia, but also included his residency in Florida. To see the entire sequence of events, regarding the Robert Farmer episode, including the altered document, go to Ms Amy Hedrick's web site at http://www.glynngen.com/history/people/farmer1/ Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Thanks for the spam-type tips, but I have a GEEK hubby who has well-schooled me in the ways of killing viruses and spam. I'm very good at putting new spams into my blocked list, and from then on out they go to my junk folder. If I didn't, my hubby would read me the riot act! LOL. He's also not too understanding of people who wander websites, paying no mind to the digital trail they leave behind. I know I've found good info on GenWeb, or at least had hours of interesting fun reading, and I hope they're here to stay as well. And as good as this new site sounds, I'll have to check it out too.

The concept may be good but in my opinion their user agreements are not. Most people seem to just click accept and never read the fine print to see what they are agreeing to.

I think the concept of MySpace and Facebook are great -- an easy, free way to connect with others who share your interests. My complaint is this: if I stay away from MySpace for, say 3 months, I get NO spam/phishing emails whatsoever, period. When one of my real-life friends asks me to log in and look at some of their pictures, I do. Immediately I start getting spam and phishing again! I think I would liken Genealogy Wise (GW) more to Goodreads.com, which is for bookies to talk to each other and make reading recommendations, than to MySpace... at least from the rudimentary look I took thus far.

Many people don't have a clue as to where to look for family research on the internet, especially those new to the world of genealogy. One of the things that is nice about Genealogy Wise in the interaction with other family researchers and the help you can get with your brick walls is unbelievable. Another thing that I like about Genealogy Wise is the things you post remains your property and in many things...the copyright.

Thank you -- guess I'll give it a look, Nancy p.s. I do hear you on owning your own stuff--I know several people who have had their material virtually stolen.
