    3. I agree with Richard Rand that any submission can furnish a clue. However it would be nice if the submitter would cite the source of the information submitted. This is true of Family Search and other genealogical sites. Harry

This is true of Family Search and other genealogical sites. > Harry Maybe it's me -- lots of stuff *is* -- but some of the "sources" I receive aren't worth the paper to print them on. "WFT #432" for instance, or "www.OneBigFamily.com" And then there're the people who want the sources you provide them explained "What's Liber 3 folio 358 mean?" or justified, "So, why did you look in the X county records? They lived in Y county, are you sure it's the same family?" I'm beginning to get really fond of "Private Communication." If it's good enough to nuclear physics, it's good enough for genealogy.
