Dear Cousins, Seems there are some genealogy scams out there on the internet and off too. I wasn't sure about the copyright issue so I opted to give you all some URL's so you can read about it for yourselves. If you have any trouble getting to the sites, please let me know. I don't want any of you to be 'fleeced'. You maybe able to access the newsletter by putting Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter into a search engine like http://www.google.com if the URL's below won't work.
