READ THIS B/4 YOU POST ANYTHING HERE!!
Just to let anyone who is posting...here are some things to consider:
1)If you post a message.Good luck on getting a reply.
2)If someone does reply, you get a general enough response..."contact me, I may have some info. for you".
3)After you e-mail the person...they usually don't e-mail back to say "yes" or "no" to the information or follow up.
4)Don't bother to look up "past postings"...the person probably changed the e-mail address and will ignore you anyway.
5)More often than not...when (AND IF) the person responds back...they will tell you how they have been doing it for years and "did it on thier own"...the implication is "I did, so should you"...
6)Lastly...it really is a shame that some folks have seemingly made an "effort" NOT to help others searching for family members.One person I was working with made a contact and we were told "I'm not interested in researching with you".
Not everyone is like that....but newcomers...beware!!! I am speaking for quite a few others who experience the same thing regularly.If you don't/can't share...DON'T ASK FOR INFORMATION EITHER.
