    3. Hello List, I personally think all information regarding a family search should be free of charge. I do look ups and have registered cemeteries for my local Rootsweb Site. I am glad to do this in hopes some one in Colleton County or elsewhere will do the same for me. I feel so much anger because I can not go over there and research. You do not have enough general information on your site. The census is public information and certainly should be made available to same. I was not aware that any Rootsweb site was under obligation to the Genealogy Society any where. If you are, I would like to know why. I am not being smart, I just was not aware of any connection other than to share info. It is so frustrating when you start with a name and date of birth. Some one looks it up over there. It takes about two weeks. Then if you are lucky enough to get a little info, it is to ask for another look up. If the census were on line and the cemeteries that is 75 percent of the info. If all the time spent doing look ups was totalled up you could do a census in no time flat. I have decided I will never know any more about my Jackson line. I do not have a maiden name for my great grandmother nor place of birth for her or my great grandfather. Next week I am driving over to a cemetery in another county to get dates for one of my lines. While I am there I will take a survey and submit it to that County website. That is how simple it is. It will take about 2 hours with my husband and myself. How little to give for so many. Our local city owned cemetery is no problem. You phone City Hall and give them names, they check records and verify. If the person you are doing a look up for is coming to town, the City will put a big orange marker beside the graves so there is no problem finding them. Brotherly love and decency seams to be running amuck in our world today. Windy
