I received the following message today from State Coordinator David Morgan. I believe that it is worth sharing. Dorothy Hi Everyone: The old genealogy scam is back. www.genseekers.com Behind the password protection are links to the free genealogy on-line. There is no content of their own. In order to get the "5-day free trial" you have to surrender a credit card or bank account number. You have to cancel within 5 days or you get dinged. Guess what? The cancellation e-mail bounces. Does this surprise you? One person who recently fell for the come-on had his/her account dinged not once, but twice. It is time to remind folks on your state and county mailing lists about these scoundrels. It has been a couple of years since we have mentioned this. Permission is granted to pass this on.

Surnames: McKinney, Morris Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XhB.2ACE/657 Message Board Post: Looking for any information on Francis Lenora "Nora" McKinney, born TN @1845. Was in Colorado county in 1871 where she married William H Morris (born MS) and had daughter, Lizzie, in 1872. I assume her maiden name was not McKinney or else married late (age 26). William Morris died in 1888 and buried Eagle Lake. "Miss Nora" lived in Houston with daughter and later married a Hightower and died in OK, I think. On census states both parents born in TN. Possibly married several times and perhaps a mutatto. The mystery lady !
