I was asking about getting stuff for Screven county, and she was talking about
posting items to Screven county and then seeing their information that has been
posted to Screven and Burke hijacked to other sites, some free and some fee
sites. Then are Phishing sites which say "we have all of this information but
you have to pay a fee to see it". Pay the fee and come to find out it is the
gagen web site for screven county. And of course the general grouse that people
have about the pay sites out there, Jstor, Ancestry, NARA, etc
I can understand how this group of people feel. I have done lots of work on the
Baisden/Basden family of Virginia/ North Carolina/ and Florida. I have a
website out there which I hope will encourage others to share their information
on the family and we will have a central depository. Instead all I find a
numerous other sites using the research for their sites, verbatim and building
their own family site. Oh well. the word gets out I just forget to correct
some of the mistakes once in a while.

Deborah,
Is she referring to a county site that has become a personal site? I know that
happens,
and researchers are justifiably miffed when their contributions are moved off
the USGenWeb
site. I don't understand the part about having to pay...? What does she mean?

Subject: [GAGEN] Problem getting stuff posted to websites
I have been talking to some of my listers about getting things posted the the
county websites. She is very tight with the main group of researcher for that
area here is what she says "Not to many posting on web anymore. They say their
information is stolen and they have to pay when they want anything." Just
thought that I would pass that on to all you all incase you are running into
some of the same things.
Also if any are in the Slyvaina area on Oct 8 and 9th There is a genealogy
workshop sponsered by Soctty Scott, Carole Farr Drexel and John Robert
Peavy,.See trivia of Screven Co/Sylvania on fb for more details.
I just found out it today and thought to pass it along
