Thank you for the kind words. Unfortunately, budget constraints here in NYC seem to prohibit the libraries, for the most part, from subscribing to services like Questia, Heritage Quest, etc. Ancestry did turn out to be a life saver for me, though,…

Much to my dismay, Jo, I found the surname Spivey to be as common as dirt [LOL]. I have Ancestry.com but that won't help since the person only shows up because they are 'researching' a surname that is in my tree. I had a little dustup…

Columbus, Ohio

If anyone has access to newspaper obituaries or funeral programs in Columbus, Ohio, I would like your help. The family name is WILLIAMS. I am not sure which part of Columbus they lived in, but the story may have made the local papers there. Ennis Edmonds WILLIAMS [abt 1927 - Nov 2009] was the wife of Herbert WILLIAMS.



Ennis and Herbert had five children: Louis, Neal, Patricia, Donald and Ronald [Donald and Ronald were twins, born about 1961].



In November, 2009, Donald… Continue

Thank you for the offer, I do have the library edition here at home, I seldom use it for real research, I did my entire website with out the aid of ancestry or books that other people wrote, I do it the old fashioned way, FHC films, documents, letters to municipalities and churches, I will be out of luck when I get to "non recorded history" I use it to make those nice little print outs of the census info if it correct, and to save the image, because back when i got the info from the FHC they didn't have the ability to put images on our flash drives. I have found way too much misinformation and mispellings in my family alone on ancestry I just can't trust it as a single source. Thank again,
Jo
As far an the porn site etc goes, Most people ought to have enough sense to know it is either a virus or at the least that it isn't you, if they don't, then they must have begun on the internet yesterday.

I asked because some of my information was up at a website and the information was wrong, I was wondering where people got that informatin as well as my name, when I clicked on to contact the person who posted the, it should have taken me to myself, but It took me to some one named "Caliandris", and I saw that one of the names they were researching was Spivey, so I thought you might either be this person or know them.
In order for me to contact this Caliandris I would have to join ancestry or someplace, which annoyed me because they woud be "selling" me incorrect information that I was quoted as posting. It is similar to ancestry I think where you have to belong to be put in contact with each other. I was hoping it was you then I could just ask where you got the info and have you correct it. I don't mind my information being ourthere, but I like it to be correct.... Now I wonder who this person is????
