Use of this site

A number of years ago I pulled down all of my genealogy information from Ancestry.com and genealogy.com because I had been able to prove that they had taken the information that I had posted and placed it onto their information that is for sale. There was a nasty comment that someone had made about my Koontz research (which was on my own and not using paid information- and was correct). Rather than respond with a war of words, I took the information off of the web.

Funny to have information come back via other sources too.

Just remember- that if you want to use this site- feel free to do so. I have owned this URL and site since 1997 and much of the genealogical work is older than that. I add to it but the fundamentals have not changed. I ask that you do not steal from me and respect my ownership of the material including the photos. If you want copies that is fine- just please do the right thing and ask first.
