Dear List, A friend of mine (coordinator of Sheboygan and Calumet County) passed this along to me and asked me to share it with the list. It looks like a researcher of her was unknowingly scammed by a company known as genlocator.com. The company is now nowhere to be found. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE if ever in doubt as to if you should spend money for something Genealogy related, post a message to the board. There are enough of us out here that have been around long enough, that someone is bound to tell you what they think about it and if it is legitamit. I don't want to see anyone scammed and if this company didn't do that, they have a lot of explaining to do, because it looks pretty shady. Here is the story: Genlocator is offering a free 6 day trial membership, so she tried it, all this service did and take the surname you entered and then transfer you to a free search engine. One of them they use is Alta Vista, a free search engine to use to begin with. So for the $36.00 {on line check} or $40.00 {check through the mail}, they then transfer your search to a free search engine. Ellen- Waukesha County GenWeb Coordinator www.linkstothepast.com
