I would like to add this comment to this line of posting. It is very difficult for some of us who live on the opposite end of the continent to dear old Chester Co., PA. I have several lines that originate there and so have much to research. Not all info/data is available online. I am not able to travel for health reasons to be in PA to do research in person. So how am I to continue my research when I have reached a point that requires hands-on work? Hiring a researcher is financially too expensive. I once paid money to one of the PA Historical Societies, only to receive tax records which were exactly "not" what I had requested and did not help me at all. So, for now, I have given up on my old Chester Co. lines. I know that there are documents available, and listers have copies of such.....here's an example......I was told once that I should "get it from the library archives, just that same way I did" from a lister who thought that I could just drive down the road like she did and go to the library/archives. I have never once hesitated to share whatever info I have obtained, on any person, on any list. A near-professional researcher told me once that as each new "generation" of researchers comes along, it's their job to go over what was done before them and correct errors, and then move back to the next generation. If we don't share what we learn, how are we all to benefit? I guess if you think you might want to publish your work in a book at some time, then you would not want others to reprint it........but from a copyright standpoint, do we have "rights" to information that is available from public records?? I don't know the answer to that. I just know that if it were not for the incredible generosity of listers, on this and all the lists, I would not have nearly half of what I have now. So, anyway, just thought I'd put in a comment from someone from the far-off Pacific Northwest corner of the continent. Best regards, Janice
