This is the original Looking 4 Kin. We need to make it known that we are in no way associated with the other Looking 4 Kin, nor it's owners or helpers. Please do not support the copy cat site, it is the lazy mans way to try and find success because they can't make it by their own means and need to rely on others hard work to succeed. What took years in the making of this site was copied, pasted and placed on the other site in a matter of days where they claim all of our hard work as Jim's and Rosey's Links on the main page of their site. I hope your actions allow you to hold your head high in pride jimgentracer and Rosey. Shame, Shame!! What a sad example for a genealogist to show the world.

Digging up the past - Again

Looking 4 Kin links were really lifted Yes.

I have had 9 emails this past week from people, and 2 people in the chatroom (Please be aware this is not to be discussed in the chatroom) who don't believe that this group would do this sort of thing. Please give your head a shake to clear your thoughts then read on. And please do read it all.

They, Jim and Rosey, have since changed the pages somewhat and removed the Looking 4 Kin name out of their html. But if you do a lot of digging and looking around their site you will find a couple dozen links that still contain our affiliate numbers.

For those unbelievers you will see that our Looking 4 Kin site was lifted and has been revamped somewhat please go to Internet Archives ads view the sources of the web page.

To view the source you right click on the webpage and then click on View Sources and there it is in the pop up window - the code.

Do some digging around and you will find several pages with my code on it just changed a wee bit but on THIS ONE is the absolute proof.

Haha the silly couple forgot to remove Looking 4 Kin from their code (maybe this is why they felt they had to register a Looking 4 Kin name but this is way before they registered their name).

Do you see it meta name="Author" content="Looking 4 Kin Genealogy Links and Chat

Some other pages are

Page 1

Page 2

Page 3

Page 4

When you are all done reading and looking for yourself you can always re read Jim Gentracer's comments where he admits to doing this. http://looking4kin.blogspot.com/2009/06/code.html

I have saved all the code from every page on their site before they removed it something else that is in all my keywords is Worldwide with a capital W in an odd spot and genealogy spelt geneology, in the exact same spot and order as where I have it. In the links themselves there are many links that have my associate id info for different sites.

Do some digging on your own and if you feel they did the right thing then by all means support their site - If not then support ours.

What took years in the making of this site was copied, pasted and placed on the other site in a matter of days where they claim all of our hard work as Jim's and Rosey's Links on the main page of their site. And Jim (who claims to be a Professional Genealogist - not very professional if you ask me to steal someone elses work) and Rosey (Yes the Rosey from Northern Ireland who pretended to be our friend in Looking 4 Kin) your links looked great - just sad how they came about. Proud of all your hard work I hope. It took a lot to lift all those pages but it took us 9 years to build Looking 4 Kin. I hope you are proud that you took from a child what she helps with and will take over once I am departed.

Rosey you may try and claim that you had no part in this to those who respected you but what is this http://rosemaryharper.co.uk/links/linksmenu.htm ? And remove it if you wish as it has been saved.

If you agree with their actions by all means support their site if not please support ours and help ours grow and become busier.

Not to be confused with gentracer.com who is a ligit professional genealogist

Guidelines for Publishing Web Pages on the Internet

Appreciating that publishing information through Internet web sites and web pages shares many similarities with print publishing, considerate family historians —

apply a single title to an entire web site, as they would to a book, placing it both in the < TITLE > HTML tag that appears at the top of the web browser window for each web page to be viewed, and also in the body of the web document, on the opening home, title or index page.

explain the purposes and objectives of their web sites, placing the explanation near the top of the title page or including a link from that page to a special page about the reason for the site.

- display a footer at the bottom of each web page which contains the web site title, page title, author's name, author's contact information, date of last revision and a copyright statement.

- provide complete contact information, including at a minimum a name and e-mail address, and preferably some means for long-term contact, like a postal address.

- assist visitors by providing on each page navigational links that lead visitors to other important pages on the web site, or return them to the home page.

- adhere to the NGS “Standards for Sharing Information with Others” regarding copyright, attribution, privacy, and the sharing of sensitive information.

- include unambiguous source citations for the research data provided on the site, and if not complete descriptions, offering full citations upon request.

- label photographic and scanned images within the graphic itself, with fuller explanation if required in text adjacent to the graphic.

- identify transcribed, extracted or abstracted data as such, and provide appropriate source citations.

- include identifying dates and locations when providing information about specific surnames or individuals.

- respect the rights of others who do not wish information about themselves to be published, referenced or linked on a web site.

- provide web site access to all potential visitors by avoiding enhanced technical capabilities that may not be available to all users, remembering that not all computers are created equal.

- avoid using features that distract from the productive use of the web site, like ones that reduce legibility, strain the eyes, dazzle the vision, or otherwise detract from the visitor's ability to easily read, study, comprehend or print the online publication.

- maintain their online publications at frequent intervals, changing the content to keep the information current, the links valid, and the web site in good working order.

- preserve and archive for future researchers their online publications and communications that have lasting value, using both electronic and paper duplication.
