Whoa! Where did all those URL's come from instead of what I typed?

Not to be paranoid or anything, but perhaps it is Ancestry itself checking on users.

I'm confused on what this guy is asking for. He wants you to copy an article from Ancestry? It it something written by Ancestry staff, or user-submitted content? And then he wants you to also mail a copy of Judy's blog post to him, in a SASE? How do the first article (from Ancestry) and the second piece (from Judy) relate to each other? I'm puzzled, and the craziness I saw on the Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness Facebook page related to Judy's blog post makes me just curious enough to wonder what the deal is here. -------------------------------- Kerry Scott www.cluewagon.com <http://www.cluewagon.com/?utm_source=emlsig> <http://twitter.com/cluewagon>
