Don't share with anyone. In which case there is no reason for any of us to belong to the lists like this. I have worked hard on information I have compiled and have shared with others. Many have shared with me.I have also found a great deal of information on the pay sites such as Ancestry. If people don't share then genealogy will certainly be a very difficult and expensive pastime. The inter-net has made genealogy what it is today because it enables us all to share with one another.
