Its rare and unusual. I will rarely send any warnings to any of my 26 lists, but this one seems important to pass along right now. We've had a large number of folks subscribe and they may be new to the world of computerized genealogy research. There is a web site (www.FamilyDiscovery.com) who is pirating work from other "Free" genealogy resources and selling it. Most of what you will find around the Internet is "Free" and if you're being charged to see it, then you're being taken advantage of. There are only a few exceptions. Ancestry.Com and "MyFamily.Com". Even they will not charge an excessive amount. So in summation, be careful. If you are being charged to view anything at RootsWeb, question it. It may be pirated. The best place to ask questions and learn about things like this is a list made especially for those new to the computerized world of genealogy research. That is Gen Newbie. This is a very high volume list. Be prepared to have a full mail box every day.
