6. The USGenWeb Project by-laws, Article IX.
Guidelines/Standards for Website/Members, Section 2, states:
"Solicitation of funds for personal gain is inappropriate.
This is defined as the direct appeal on the home page of any
of the websites comprising The USGenWeb Project for funding
to do research, to pay for server space, to do look-ups,
etc. A website may, however, acknowledge any entities who
may host their website (i.e., provide server space at no
cost) or may include a link to a coordinator's personal page
on which they offer research services for reimbursement. The
acknowledgement may include a link to the hosting entity's
website. A website may list research materials and/or
services which may be for sale/hire, either by the
coordinator, a genealogy society, or others. Such a listing
shall not be on the main web page for the site, but may be
linked from the main web page. It may be appropriate to
include a disclaimer that the coordinator and The USGenWeb
Project do not guarantee the contents of such research
materials and/or the expertise of any professional
researchers."

I just got an e-mail from a person who offered to do research in
Marathon
County for a fee. She did not clear it with me - is this against
