You're absolutely right, Helen. Good response you have.
I think it's only the newbies who make the rude comments. Anyone who has
had any experience in doing genealogy knows how difficult it can be to
track down good material, and to get it transcribed, etc. Experienced
folks are grateful for every tiny crumb.

accept their help in obtaining records of all sort. This usually stops
them. Some folks want everything handed to them, but for that one person
who is so ungrateful there are hundreds that laude our sites daily-just my 2
cents worth--Helen
