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.
