Mine, too. I, at the moment, have a 300 page book ready to be printed for future generations and to be donated to any library in the country that wants it. AND IT'S DOCUMENTED. Much of the information in those trees on Ancestry is not correct. You have no idea how much is not correct. >>I only hope that some selfish, narrow-minded person out there is not hoarding information that might be of help to me, my extended family, or our future generations.<< If there are, it's your fault. Are you doing YOUR research? I have shared every bit of information I have with as many people as have asked for it and many who have not asked for it. I have never hoarded. But then I have never published to a website that charges either. I give and give and give without publishing to a website. Noone has ever accused me of being narrow minded. There is not a narrow minded bone in my body. >>So sorry to hear that you feel the way you do; I hope we are not related.<< If we were, you'd know it, because I would give you every bit of information [documented] that I have gleaned for the past ten years. And in that ten years, I have never run across anybody's bitter as you, either. Well, maybe one. Sorry to hear that you feel the way you do. You're losing out on a lot. You see, I am not withholding information by not publishing to a website.
