Hi Alice,
I agree with the others. Never offer any personal information. He may be
ligit, but...
You could also direct him to the Seneca County Chapter of OGS. They are
right there in Tiffin and would know much more about him and whatever
magazine he has.
If you are nosey, like me, you could ask where to buy a copy of his
magazine. If he tells you, he might again be ligit.
I, personally, wouldn't handle much of this sort of thing over the net.
Let him use the resources right there in Tiffin. There are plenty.

Received this yesterday, and before replying thought I would get your
opinions. My thought is to direct him to the USGenWeb Project as a whole,
with Seneca Co. being a very small part of this all-volunteer project.
Haven't had a chance to think it through more fully yet, and I would
appreciate your input as to what to tell him. I've not had to deal with
anything like this before--totally out of MY comfort zone.
Your thoughts, please?
