World Connect, sharing & sources

I've enjoyed the recent posts and want to share my opinion, worth 2
cents or less.

I LOVE RootsWeb's worldconnect project. I've been at this about
seven years and have found it to be the best FREE resource
available. I've discovered many distant cousins and additions to
the lines that interest me. But, so many of my cousins make error
filled multiple posts to worldconnect and have no interest in
correcting them or feign ignorance about how to remove prior posts
they have already found are incorrect.

Sharing info is great and I'm delighted to do that, but my info at
worldconnect is NOT downloadable. Certainly it is copyable, but I'm
the only one who can download my file. Worldconnect provides me a
backup file if I have a disaster on my computer but it does not
provide "name collectors" a file to download and add to their own
be found by using the key word search for "mckee-main". I really
like the search capabilities at worldconnect and have found them to
be superior to searching at Ancestry.com.

Providing sources is tedious, time consuming and yet justifiably
expected by many. I'm lazy, so to keyboard into the computer that I
have neither of my parents birth certificates but do have old US
passports showing date and place of birth for both of them seems
like too much work.

to share information about my brick wall and to solicit information.
Some of the information there has citations so others can find it
and some are just images to be believed or not.

Again, I've enjoyed the discussion and just wanted to offer my view,
biased as it is.

In my mind the above is part of what this group is about. Obviously
it has increased the input and I hope I'm not the only one who has
learned something.
