I'll gladly share whatever I have, including copies of documents, when sent to a private address. That is my pleasure and the only way I know to repay those who have gone on before me and have shared so generously with me. To post to the internet, I think not. I have in my possession all too many so called documents that have been altered. Posting would be gravey for Ancestry and others of the same ilk. They simply surf the net looking for items to post to their own site and without giving credit for the contribution. Unless I then visited their site, asked for that particular records and that it would be shared with me, I would have no way of knowing that my document(s) hadn't been lifted to another site. Recently I stumbled upon an article, only about half completed but correct up to the given point. I won't say who did it as it was a reputable entity who did not post for profit. [It was soon withdrawn when I contacted the poster for additional information and had my request returned to me unanswered]. The entire article was based on queries, etc. I had posted over the years...each one of them having revealed a bit of information that I thought might encourage someone to respond. I know the information was correct because I had personally done the research; and it would be my humble opinion that the poster had verified my facts before publishing them. Should anyone surfing the 'net for information about surnames I have posted all over the 'net would respond to me privately, I would be more than happy to share. I do not care to do my sharing through message boards, etc. Using the internet is a life saver for me. Doesn't require me to leave the house, even for the inadequate library we have, no travel with motel and food bill, to say nothing about gasoline and at its current prices. But, I do find my sources to be much more reliable when I purchased them from state archives. The USMail is a very good source. A bit more expensive than getting it either free or from a subscription; but then I have the satisfaction of knowing that this source is going to be as close to the primary record as I will be able to have. I am a subscriber to Ancestry.com and other than for a few special items like the registration cards for those who were required to register when WW I was raging, and a few other things of the like genre, I could have had more accurate records for the cost of the subscription by simply ordering what I needed from an Archive. Books are another excellent source, particularly if they are abstracted from the actual records. I use Ancestry only as a guide for further research; if I do not know the info is accurate either from personal knowledge and/or personal research, anything I get from them must be verified before it becomes acceptable. I like to follow the siblings of an ancestor, adding information for them that might prove useful to me in the future but which is very doubtful. Like a couple or three generations when available. After that point, I am not quite as particular as I am about my lineal ancestors and their immediate families. Whenever I can, I like to include neighbors, friends, families, and others who have had some interaction with my own lineage. Sometimes it's a brick wall to find a reason for having them included. And I do document these persons as well as I can, recording in my notes the items I have found about them. One of them just might prove to be the needle in the haystack I'm searching. Oh, and it's very discouraging to go to a county website, see something of interest, click on it and find myself right dab in the mist of Ancestry whom I've been attempting to avoid!!!!!!!
