Yes it's the same with all these boards..no one wants to swap information. I posted several bits about people incl. Fields/Andersons etc but not even a reply. Others might say 'thanks, I'll add that to my file'...but never offer anything in return. Someone else was looking for Gaults of Antrim..I posted a snippet but when they said they'd 'add it to their file' but no offer of reciprocation I simply deleted the whole tree incl. the Gaults they were looking for, marriages, births for kids etc.. Their loss, not mine!! That is Genealogy!

I have Field/Fields (sometimes these seem interchangeable, probably based on who was the person recording information way back when) on both sides of my dad's family...his great grandmother was a Field on his father's side and on his mother's side either her mother or mother-in-law was a Field(s)...The paternal Field was from Co. Tyrone, Termonmaguirk area, but the other one remains a mystery as to where/when she was born. I know what you mean about giving information...I don't really anticipate reciprocity, but a "thank you" would sure be nice sometimes.
