Beware of familydiscovery.com!

Folks, please don't be taken by this scam. Family Discovery is charging
a
fee for LINKS to FREE sites. Go to http://www.usgenweb.org/ ,
http://www.rootsweb.com/ , http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ and
http://www.rootsweb.com/~cemetery/ for all kinds of data for FREE. You
don't need to pay for links, it is available for free.

Here is the back door to their site for Oklahoma and Texas.

Family Discovery does not have databases, they have links to other
people's sites. Some of the links (in North Carolina) are to the
National
Archives, http://www.nara.gov/ That is free, don't pay for it.

The following letter from Family Discovery was sent to two USGenWeb
