Hi, Diane,
Thanks for taking those steps re eatfish or whatever his name is.
Though I certainly don't want to go public about this (Buyer, beware!)
"I was
took".
His charges were supposed to be $2.50 an hour. I sent him a number of
names -
he chose to look up only two of them - one I had given a definite death
date
for and the other I had give a birth date and probable death date. He
got the
first one but sent me a death record for a person by the same name as
the
second one but was born 50 years sooner than "mine". He said he was not
interested in doing the others.
And he charged me $20.00! No itemization - just $20.00. I was took!!
But I
chalk it up to there's no fool like an old fool and all that sort of
thing.
I've been doing genealogy research for a tad over 30 years and have
hired
researchers before (some good - some bad)
His line is that he is not a professional but does this to pay for his
own
research -
