A genealogist must have the patience of Job; the curiosity of a cat; the stubbornness of a mule; the eyesight of an eagle; be blessed with the luck of the Irish and have the ability and stamina of a camel to go long hours without food or drink." (The Herald, Vol. 18, No. 3 & 4; 1995)

By this time I'm sure most of you have been made aware of the activities of FamilyDiscovery.com. I'm going to refrain from comment...you all need to make your own decisions about them.  However, if you choose to make a complaint, Linda Emerson posted the following information to the NORCAL-L@rootsweb.com and I hope you find it helpful.
