And that is a good point. Finding professionals who don't mind sharing an
opinion or two is as easy as googling for "Professional Genealogist" and
finding the APG website and in turn, this list. I have never run into a more
wonderfully giving set of people who share time and information freely than
those on this list. They love to share their professional experiences and
bring others "up through the ranks." Therefore why the pretense and
deception? It borders on questionable ethics and perhaps that is what set
off the "sixth sense" of Ray, Pat, Brenda, and Ann.
