I would like to quote from your article on genealogy, especially in reference to the internet sites listed. Please advise what permission I may have to quote from the article. I will not reference the article without your permission.

Trails to the Past, http://trailstothepast.org is a free site with more and more information coming online daily. Volunteers are always welcome and any information that anyone wants to share is also welcome. It is getting so you can’t even get a phone number online unless you pay to get it. We pay enough to get our genealogy data and so thanks for people like Rootsweb, they help support free genealogy.

USGW isn’t the only one. There is Trails To The Past, an up and coming project among the more established ones. I have seen some very nice and informative sites there. AHGP and ALHN, both as established as USGW.

I have had people contact me as much as four years later about something I have posted.
The American History & Genealogy Project is another good contributor based free site for information. Don’t stick to one site all the time, search all of them each time you are looking for something.

The free sites are very valuable for researchers. Several more quality free sites are available like AHGP, TTTP and many non-affiliated web sites.
