Listers,
I have included an invitation from Family Discover to join (for
$49.95). You may get one also and if you do, please don't even think
about
wasting your money this way. This is obviously a new link site and
it is
really a rip-off. They do have not original info. there -- only links to
those who do. Go to Cyndis List instead -- it's free and the links there
are by permission. Most states are sparsely represented but he is working
hard to fill those up as we speak.
I have heard from several genealogists who are listed on this site also
and, of course, we are upset that they are charging for the information we
provide for free, mainly contributions from others.
Thanks, Ron, for the email. I don't know how you got it, but I have sent
a
not so nice letter but doubt that I will get a reply. Phyllis, I
think we
should post this to any list we belong to so people will not waste their
money.
Here is a link to a back door. At least it was working this morning.
