Genealogy Chat

I'm sure I've come across this chap on the boards before, it's not a name you forget.

I believe he was asking for help (threads probably deleted).

I do NOT like being taken advantage of.

The terms and conditions of GR state:

So is using data obtained from other members a breach?

When he contacted me he was very polite but asked who the person married, if so how many children, who were her parents, do I have a copy of the marriage certificate, do I have a photograph. And when he asked for a speedy reply I then Googled his name because it made me suspicious that he might be a professional researcher, & I am glad that I did.

He is listed as a member under his own name

only 3 members with the name Stuehmeyer in their tree and one member has 2 accounts

Vera, their are updates on the site in 2012 but another page shows BMD cert for £7 to £8


Roy

Is he still operating as a researcher? It doesn't look as if he has updated his website since about 2010

If he is (as it appears) less than scrupulous, the chances of his using his real name on here must be close to zero

His website certainly makes some very extravagent claims on how good he is, he is certainly not backward in praising himself and his talents.

But the name does not ring any bells - does he use different names on here?

Fair enough. you didn't quite say that.

another one!!


Thank you Michael for keeping us up-to-date on this.


I too object to doing the work for free for someone who will then charge someone, and claiming falsely to have done the work.

Nothing wrong with making a living out of it, but when he asks for photos & copies of marriage certificates that you have paid for & he wants them for FREE so that he can then charge somebody else for research that he hasn't done, I don't think so ?

he and thousands of others are making a living out of Researching- whats wrong with that?

Please be aware that if you are asked for information from a Jeremy Stuehmeyer he is a professional researcher & his web page is :-
http://www.jsfamilytrees.com/
or Google his name
I am not asking you not to give information to him but just making you aware.
