I have written to some of them, sometimes you get no response
sometimes you
do. But the only ones responsible as I say for taking your database
information are individuals. They need to learn to do their own
research.

I have noticed that even some libraries have Ancestry.com available in
their
lists of databases....

I have not at anytime stated that a person should not utilize such
"genealogy for money" websites for whatever value those may have to
any one family or line.  I simply have said that I do not use such,
and do not advise anyone else to do so.  I also have mentioned and
firmly believe that many if not most such sites plagiarize or
otherwise "take" the work products of honest researchers and sell
those at a profit without gaining or even seeking permission.  Paul
