Hi Folks, I want to chime in on this,I recently got in trouble by sharing
some pictures and info that I thought would not be a problem, I have almost
always asked the person who sends me pictures if I can share them or use
them,, This time I took for granted, that It would be ok, I was wrong, It
only takes a extra second to ask the person if you can share what they gave
you, I do think that we should share everything we have because it can help
others in their search, But some folks don't feel the same way. I share
everything that I have and would hope all Genealogists would do the same.
But we still need to ask if it is of a personal nature. Jim knows the
situation in which I speak of, I did not try and sneak the info out there,
and claim it was mine, I did put the persons name on the info, It is a bad
thing to claim someone else's work as your own, But that is common sense.
Well,Lets share what all we have , I am happy to share all my info with
anyone who wants it. Bye 4 now.
Jerry

I feel like this if you're not willing to share don't come
asking me for
information.
I always more than willing to share with people who do the same.
