Hi Listers
How do you deal with others sharing your research and using you as a
source?  Especially when they aren't picking up on the fact that
you've used this or that book, certificate, database etc as your
source.

The short answer, you live with it. There are, and will continue to be, people who believe that genealogy is the art of harvesting any possible connection from the internet, adding it to their database then posting it back to the internet as "Absolute Truth" without any regard for "sources" beyond who they can blame if someone calls them on an error.

Cest la vie.
