Garrett County Group:
My only comment is: "I thought genealogy was about sharinging info." Also,
how can you advance in the knowledge of your lines if we do not freely share
info---especially info from one or two centuries ago. Also, it is up to the
individual researcher to confirm the authenticity of the info.. There is
alot of misinformation along with the sea of correct genealogy. We cannot
assume that is is maliciously put out there.
Any attorneys out there? I doubt that this would be a suit most attorneys
would bother with.
