I have the same problem with a person who is a professional genealogist, she has my Great Great Grandfather and an other family with the same name mixed up and even through I have sent her the correct info with documentation refuses to correct her info.

My thoughts on this whole problem is "the not recognizing Stephanie's work" ! If Stephanie had been consulted, she would have most likely given permission. Without Stephanie Flora's name the validity comes into question. This is why it is so important to validate your work! We need to know where you got your info, SS, newspaper, (They are only half correct) birth records, death records, oral info and from whom, Web site, who submitted it where did they get it. . . I could go on and on for the people just getting into genealogy because I am only repeating what's been said at virtually every seminar , every getting started pamphlet/book and lecture My problem was someone uploaded a bunch of Malheur County's Marriage records and they are all wrong. Brothers are married to sisters Father's to daughters and the names on the death records are misspelled. I wrote to the person that submitted everything and couldn't get him to even respond. There is humor in this mess. Vale has erected a big granite listing of everyone in the Pioneer Cemetery. My Uncle's name is wrong! His marker is one of about a dozen that are still standing so there isn't any excuse for his name being wrong! Isn't genealogy fun? In 1998 I was leaving for the West Coast and so I singed off of "NorCal". Just about 15 minutes before Stephanie sent an email suggesting I stop and look through Vale, Oregon's cemetery. Because of her suggestion, I was able to connect one of my lines. I had thought there was an extra generation. I will support her. Viola Rae (Stacey) Kassing Goodrich, Markham and all the lines the women bring into the families!
