My example is a family history included in the Amherst and Nelson heritage
books citing 50 years of research on the family they submitted. After
reading it I knew that it contained errors and so many omissions! But, I
contacted the lady and we exchanged information and I thought I'd found a cousin
that I shared so much in common with. Well, that nice lady took my
information, made a new website and claimed credit for everything she posted! I
started getting notes from friends about this new site that sure looked like
the work I'd done for years so I visited the site and yes, there it was! I
talked with the lady and you know she never admitted that it was my research!
Now, I try not to associate my name with that website cause she has added
so much speculation and hunches to it that I sure don't want to claim it.
ATTENTION PEADE; LOOK closely at this BIT, to an extent CORRECT?

INFORMATION>
COUSINS, PLEEASE, with as many Campbell's as therre are with the SAME
first & Last name, <???> one is going to say that THIS OR THAT IS
WRONG<???>

Head, Some frm Grannys Trunk & SOME of them throuughly RESEARCHED. My late
Mother Had three brothes; AND Neither of them Had A Cambel Family Name. MY
