For some reason as I was reading, the word scam came to mind. I have no reason why I think this, other than instinct. I copied and pasted the links in the post into an AOL email to see the URL (I wanted to see what address would come up; a common internet scam uses real-looking titles to links that don't take you to the site the link says it will but instead takes you to a scammers site). On AOL when there's a link in an email, all you have to do is put the cursor over the link and the URL will appear; you can then compare the URL that shows up in the pop up window with the title of the link in the email to see if there are commonalities. A nice way to help safeguard your internet account, though unfortunately not foolproof. Gmail does not offer this feature :(. Anyway, it appears that the links in this post take you to http://ancestry.com. When I plugged that into my browser it did take me to ancestry.com, then promplty I got kicked offline. Probably a coincidence, but I rarely get booted offline. Anyway, I'd love to see a source. Thanks.
