1. This is very important --- and this is not the fist message that
I've received this week concerning this particular site.
2. Also, be very careful about whom you share your genealogy with --- a
"cousin" recently had her information, including living people, posted
on a web site without her permission.
3. This year, I had some of my personal information printed in a book
*and* another researcher took credit for my work.

Email has been coming to me from the USGenWeb and the ILGenWeb
to stay away from it. As I was trying to type something up
to send you all, Carol had sent email to a mailing list, of
which I think explains it all.
Carol is the owner of "Yesterdays of Hamilton Co., IL" web site
and has her personal web site too.
Please read what Carol wrote (below my name) and stay away
from that site.
Carol thank you for the well written notice!
Thanks!

========= ALERT ============
Folks,
Stay away from this web site:
http://www.familydiscovery.com/
Someone brought to my attention that they have "stolen" many
of the USGenWeb files and tons of my Standerfer info. and
are charging people $49.00 for a one time search for records
which links back directly to my site. They don't have much
posted for IL yet, but they will. This is nothing but a
"link" site and they have not asked permission of internet
genealogists who strive to provide "free genealogy information"
to do this.
Please know that I have not given my permission for them to
use my web page links for this commercial site and I doubt
that USGenWeb has either.
As far as I can tell (going through the back door), they
have no original records--they have just linked to sites
that do have the information.
Carol
