Kortum Sun, 27 Jun 2010 22:29:26 +0000 http://blogs.ancestry.com/ancestry/?p=4082#comment-48988 I had a wonderful experience with "Expert Connect" The gentleman was super and gave me a name. I knew that my ancestors bought their property from the Hall family in our town. I never considered this elusive ancestor as a Hall. After his research, this gentleman suggested that the missing ancestor was a particular Hall daughter. Understandable, as my ancestor Joel Thorp wrote about the Hall family in his "Day Book" around the early 1800's. This gentleman was worth far more than his fee. The only bad experiences I have had with researches were the ones located in England. They think that all Americans are rich and the British seem to resent our ancestry. These experiences were with the Channell line in England and the Thorp line in England. With the Channell line the female reseacher pretended to be incompetent always requesting more money. The Thorp line was another issue of someone claiming to have information and requesting money. After the British female received the money I never heard from her again.

At one time there was a woman on Expert Connect who just for the cost of the photocopy fee would pick up records if you had all the information (no research involved). Used her services twice but she no longer does that service. Also had a pretty good experience when I asked for a research plan on tackling a family line -- one response was excellent, three or four were middle of the road, and two were terrible (I felt I knew more than they did about a certain public figure to whom I may be related). But the last two requests I posted each sat for three weeks with no response, so I finally pulled them. I have used Expert Connect with mixed results.
