Disclaimer and Warranty (The Fine Print, Enthusiastically Stated):

Genealogical research is a journey, not a paved road. The records you seek often rely on human transcription, organizational changes, and the volatility of the internet.

  • All of my work comes with absolutely no warranty, expressed or implied. However:
    • It will almost certainly work until it breaks, though I must admit it may never work or be useful—and that would be sad.
    • If/when it breaks, you can keep all the pieces.
    • As for what you don't like, it's yours to do with as you will.
    • If you find my materials helpful, both you and I will be happy (at least for a while).
    • My advice is worth every penny you paid for it! (Which is zero cents, so enjoy the value!)
