Leigh,

Do you have any suggestions as to what to do about commercial companies
linking to our free pages? This particular company is linked to a lot of AL
sites - including rootsweb archives, which plainly states that it is a free
site!

For those that may be interested, the following URL, which was posted on
USGW-CCL, will take you to the site to see just what is linked to.

Substitute pennsylvania for whatever state you are interested in.
