I don't post my stuff on the internet either. I don't like people copying my work and publishing it as their own and copying the material without bothering to cite it properly. Lloyd, send me your stuff when the time comes. I would be interested in it and I promise to take care of it. My children and husband couldn't care less about my research so I understand perfectly.

A couple of years ago i posted my family tree on a website and several people got information from it and even wrote me wanting info that was not on the webpage. BUT, when I would e-mail them for information, they would ignore my e-mail. So I removed my data from the internet and do not intend to put it back on. I am going on 81 years old and when I get to the place where I cannot work on my data, then I am going to delete it all. not going to leave a trace. None of my grandchildren are interested in taking it over.
