I have had same thing happen to info my sister (Alice Bishop) and I have collected over past 35+ years by sharing with distant cousins trying to make connections. Reluctant to share much anymore with anyone that I don't know. Glad to know that we are not by ourselves with this problem.

About 10 years ago i allowed about 10 persons (all kin) to have access to view and add to my family tree on line. one cousin let it go to the net and i recerived about25 emails asking me where i got my info on their families. As I have said my tree contain's info on other families that are tied but not related to my lines but I have found their lines connecting to mine a couple of generations ahead. Some info contained errors because info given to me was in error but over the years i have been able to correct a lot of errors that were in several known researchers books. I do buy some of these books for research but anything thats in my files and given to persons on the nets are research in works and will never be complete. I lost 20,000 persons two years about and now have over 166,000 persons with 40,000 directly connected. I' Not interested in doing a book to sel only a unfinished file to give to my grandchildren. Everyone just remember you don' know who you are dealing with on certain area they don't identify whjo they are so beware of what you give them it will be published .

Paula, Connie, and Carol, It's appalling how low people will stoop! I'm sorry that each of you has experienced this type of theft. I've been working with Carol for awhile (hi, Carol!) on our shared lines (though, admittedly, she puts in much more time and effort than I do!) and have seen how much work goes into researching each person and how attached we all become, not only to our ancestors but to the results themselves. Genealogists are extremely generous people; after all, sharing information is an extremely effective way of breaking through brick walls. That this generosity is taken advantage of is just plain wrong. I wish each of you had some recourse. Meanwhile, please know that I, for one, am extremely grateful for every bit of information you share, so generously, with the rest of us!

I feel the same way Paula about the making of money from our files. I have tried to get correct information and willing to help any that needs to connect people to the lines they are searching. However if it is to be used for money making reasons, they have no right to use it for that purpose and at least should take time to try and give credit to those that gave out the information. I do pass on some information that someone else has posted and since I know not where they got the information, even when they do give foot notes, I'm still in the dark. But I do intend to try and help whenever I can on information and hope this will be possible.

Connie and Carol, I found all my work--my entire database, with notes, posted on the Internet about 15 years ago. I know how it got there, without my permission and without crediting me, and I am no longer using that research firm. My data file has been sold and re-sold to several genealogy companies over the years, and it is now on Ancestry.com's One World Tree and Rootsweb's World Connect Project...and probably a few other places that I don't know about. The problem is that my name has not been associated with all my work...sources...notes. The contact for my data is shown as: "Anonymous." I am sure that has caused me to miss having contacts from - who knows - hundreds of cousins in the years my data has been on the Internet. And...how would you feel if someone posted a message on a genealogy list that quoted your research notes word for word? That was how I found out about my information being on the Internet. I am always happy to find new cousins to share information with, but I am not happy about this experience. Neither of the two companies mentioned above will replace "anonymous" with my name...their modus operandi is to pass the buck..."Maybe (someone else) can help you with that." Yes, I could upload my family tree to both websites and elsewhere, and it would add to the tons of duplicate information already "out there." I forget about this until someone mentions a related problem. Thanks for "listening!" Striving to keep a positive attitude...and just crabby today.

This comment cracked me up! Yes, I do want to scream when I hear someone talk about "back in the day" - but what about "that's old school" ???

Hi, Everybody, I just came back from an out-of-town trip and caught up on my e-mail. Rena, thank you so much for putting the Vest Cemetery photos on the Floyd website. I hope these photos will help others. The cemetery is so large that I didn't get to take pictures of all the gravestones. I tried--and think I found--to photograph, all the Kelley and Peters graves in the Vest Cemetery. I think you can tell from the pictures that The Vest Cemetery is well taken care of. If anyone would like to contribute to the care of the cemetery, e-mail me and I will send information about who to contact. And Ken, Ausborne Paul Kelley is my father; Roger Kelley, who is buried next to him, is my first cousin. Brian C. Kelley, whom you mentioned regarding the WWII Memorial website, is my nephew. Brian is not a subscriber to the Floyd County list, but I will pass your message on to him. In fact, I didn't know that Brian had put Daddy's name and information on the WWII Memorial website until you mentioned it, so thank you. Thank you again, Rena, for all the work you do. I know it takes a lot of your time to upload pictures and other information to the websites, and we appreciate you so much.

Carolyn, If a person was killed in WWII, his name is automatically entered on the honor roll by NARA. In addition, if he is buried overseas, his name is entered again by the ABMC who maintains the overseas cemeteries. Only the names of those who survive the war have to be entered by the veteran himself or a family member. I've probably listed over a 100 names since it opened in 2004. Go to the WWII Memorial site and click on Registry. To search the registry, type in last name, first and state. Do a search of your WWII relatives and you may find a family member has already entered their name on the honor roll. When you enter a name, it's nice to enter the assignments, battles, medals, etc., but not required. Basically, you only need the veterans (1941-1946) name and hometown. www.wwiimemorial.com If I can be of help, please let me know.

Ken, what information is required to register a WWII vet with the memorial? I have an uncle and cousins who were in the war, but know little about outfits, etc. I know one of them piloted a glider into France a day or two after the landings at Normandy. The uncle and cousins are all dead now. I have a friend who is still living and active, who trained with the 10th Mountain Division, but wound up parachuting into France. He should be listed, too.

On viewing the Vest Cemetery, the first photo was of Ausborne Paul Kelley, a World War II veteran. When I visit a cemetery and see a WWII vets marker, I always make a note to check if the veteran is listed on the honor roll at the World War II Memorial in Washington. If the name is not listed, I try to contact a family member and get permission to enter his name in their honor. I think all WWII veterans should be on this honor roll, but they will only be listed if a family member enters their name. Thank you Brian C. Kelley, Grandson of Ausborne Paul Kelley (WWII Vet) for honoring your grandfather.

Paula Kelly Ward & Janice Smyth have provided me with photos of the Vest Cemetery. This is only part of the inturments in this large cemetery. If anyone has more photos of this cemetery, i'll add them between power outages and work. Edgar do we have a complete listing of this cemetery. I thought I had one, I wanted to add if I can get one. Thanks to everyone involved in this large file. If you have problems with this Paul, I'll edit it to smaller pages later. http://www.rootsweb.com/~vafloyd/VestCemetery.html
