I hope you receive payment prior to doing the work. I'm not a professional either, but would hate to spend all my time on a person's lineage and not receive something in return. Hope it doesn't happen again.Barbara Poolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07440544740334032378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3761714970048172162.post-41411040867057460442010-04-05T08:09:28.225-04:002010-04-05T08:09:28.225-04:00While I am not a professional genealogist, I can f...While I am not a professional genealogist, I can fully understand your frustration with people who would think that Ancestry.com is a good genealogy source. I am a member and use it mainly to access census data. I check on some family almost daily and get what appears to be some good information and most often a lot of poor data. My main gripe with ancestry.com is that they accept information that is unsourced which makes it impossible to contact the person who suppied the data in many instances. I seldom get replys from the sources that are listed. While I have come across some trees that are fairly well documented and appear to have good information, most information is as you say just a lead to where you need to research.<br /><br />Bob BakerBob Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12277011156148085565noreply@blogger.com
