I've felt it was perfectly clear that there was never any question of people likely to be living being involved, either by tracing relatives who may be alive, or giving any information about them ... although if there are enough centenarians there are a few may have crept through!
I'm very grateful for help and guidance so generously given on here, and do try to help out where I can, ... I do note though that some people ask for help with A & B, ...then their parents & families .... then their parents and families ... nearly back to Adam & Eve, and I get the feeling that they do rely on the wonderful people who help us all here doing EVERYTHING for them, which surely isn't in the spirit of researching your family history, is it? The joy lies in getting a clue and then ... yes, it's possible ... checking it out ... YES! it is ... and now I've got the proof! (Cert etc). I'm still delighted about a problem last year that was solved by a clue pointing me in the right direction, last year.
If someone's being paid a professional fee as a professional researcher, then he/she surely ought to be at least professional enough to mention it, when requesting help ... and let rootschatters decide if they wish to help out?
