Hello listers, Just FYI, following is a list of some genealogy scam links on the web that are out to take you! Most of these sites are hosted by the same creep. Also, FYI, a gentleman named Gene Olson has declared an all-out personal campaign against the perpetrators of this enormous hoax and fraud. Plus there is a neat website called "gensucks.com" (really) that deals with the pitfalls of family history research. For now, courtesy of Papa Joe Tucker, of "Tucker Cousins"... GENEALOGY SCAM SITES FAMILY DISCOVERY IS A SCAM Also Known As: genealogydevelopments.com familydiscovery.com genealogyfinders.com genealogyfinders.net aboent.com genlocator.com genseeker.com genseekers.com genealogy-express.com gentechs.com familysearch.com familyexpress.com You REALLY don't want to go there, Myrna Madigan

Regarding the list of genealogy scams, I am at a loss to see how familysearch.com is a scam. Then again, maybe I'm a little dense. I have used this site numerous times for years, have gotten a great deal of information and clues without cost. The only change I noted after change of management was before you could get a reel# and order from LDS and view at an LDS church location. Now you must order the CD. They still list some addresses of contributors who can perhaps be contacted. It is also the only location I have found that you can put in the father's name, mother's first name and get a listing of children born to those parents names.

familsearch.com is the LDS SITE!!!
