Does anyone know anything about them? Are they legit.? One time fee of $45.00 to use the site forever. Sounds like one of those "if it sounds too good to be true...."! Thanks, Alan >> Alan I can tell you that this is a rip off. You are buying free info already on the web. They have taken Rootsweb, Genweb, Ancestry Com and a lot of websites and organized the info ~ that's all! They are being sued and the District Attorney of the State was contacted where Elias Bodley on E-bay was selling these contracts. Several people have called the police and filed charges against Elias Bodley ~ he also gave out the same code name and password to people! Hope this helps!
