[or-roots] The name of the person who plagiarised my site

[LSchiendel at aol.com]

Stephanie,    You are an inspiration to us  all.    My experience with 
someone who went on a family cemetery  and "read" the cemetery includng many many 
many mistakes.  Whoever  allowed  her to do it has refused to take it down.
I do not feel kindly to her but I think about the people who are  researching 
the people there and they begin looking for some of the non-existant  people 
she listed.   They  may  spend a lot of time  looking for these persons.  It 
is a small cemetery in Lincoln County  Oregon.
     Wish I could be as kind as your are.

I have been getting some  comments off of the list regarding releasing the 
name of this individual and I  would like to expand on my previous comments.  
First of all, I know  nothing about her but I believe she may be fairly new to 
genealogy.  If I  were to look back on my beginning years in genealogy I am 
sure there could be  a book written about the mistakes I made.   
I have been dealing with  her on a one to one basis and I am sure that if she 
had an opportunity to  throw me off of a bridge she would be looking for a 
really high one because I  had no intention of backing down and just going away 
and let her know  it.  In turn, I got the results I needed but I left a very 
mad and  defiant individual.  Her logic and sense of indignation is beyond the  
scope of understanding when you consider that in a matter of 6 months she has 
 pirated over 11,000 burial records complete with information from two web  
sites. 
Releasing her name would  serve no purpose.  In my younger days I might have 
burned her at the  stake but I am older, wiser and have come to realize that 
the choices I make  today will be the ones I have to live with tomorrow.  I am 
a big believer  in the old adage, Do something about the things you can fix 
and let go of the  ones you can’t. 
I do not plan on living my  life worried about some rabid genealogist with 
revenge on her mind.  The  things I do when I am not doing genealogy are much 
more dangerous and ten  times more likely to kill me.  My concern now is with 
Find A Grave and  their blatant disregard when this type of thing is reported.  
That is  where we should all be focused because if it wasn’t for their 
policies there  would be no problem in the first place.  I hope you all join with me 
and  focus on them as the issue.
