All right, so I'm tired and I've got a headache that wraps around twice, but still... I used WorldConnect, and found hits on a very rare surname (Yoist, in case it matters). But then, I couldn't find any way to d/l the GEDCOMs. So, I thought, well, that's peculiar and went to another name that isn't as rare to see if that told me anything (in case the Yoist submitters were protecting their data, and BTW if he's going to strip "LIVING" people, he'd better strip mother's maiden names too). There was the mailto at the top for the submitter; there was the links to more info on each of them (but I didn't NEED more info, I recognized 'em), and there was the link to the surname lists in that GED. There was the Rootsweb disclaimer at the bottom. But be darn if I saw a Download link. So, ok, already, I give up. Can I buy a link?
