Subject: [[SEARS-L]] genealogy fraud
I received this on my Sears list at rootsweb thought I would
pass it on,
I have no knowledge of these people.

It is a fraudulent site because a membership gives you links to our
free sites. You do not have to pay to get to any site in USGenWeb
Right here, there is no charge to get to all the counties in
USGenWeb.
We are all hardworking volunteers to have genealogy information
free for researchers.
I have found links to our Macoupin civil war rosters, censuses,
which we spent many hours of volunteer time now to have unknowing
researchers pay a membership to click on a link to view our work.
Macoupin County ILGenWeb volunteers have put over 1400 pages of
free information and continuing to work to get more pages up.
If any person finds our complete work in their membership, please
notify me. Please pass this information onto any list. Let's try to
keep these ripoffs from making their pile of money from our
volunteer work.
Please pass this onto any list you might be on. Hopefully, this
site will be removed soon if not sooner.
Thanks for listening.
