I don't post?my family tree info online either.? However, I?contribute?photos, scans?and transcriptions of?original?records?to the USGENWEB project (www.usgenweb.org).??For example, I recently contributed scans of an 1899 high school yearbook and am working on a transcription of?the names.? Next I want to?scan and transcribe the Dec. 4, 1872 issue of a?newspaper that I found in a box of my great-grandparents things (the town burned down in the early 1870's, so the library and newspaper office don't have copies of the newspaper prior to 1874 - this is likely the only copy of this issue in existence).? So many historical records end up "lost" for one reason or another.? Anyone doing serious research wants to see the sources?anyway - not the family tree that?someone else has?put together.? A lot of us have old source records (secondary and primary) that would be of interest to other genealogists.? So I concentrate on that, and just share my tree with close relatives. Cheryl S.
