THE DISHONORABLE GENEALOGIST
named

James Callow Keller

 

GENEALOGISTS ARE AWESOME!

 
        Every genealogist knows it.....GENEALOGISTS ARE AWESOME! I dare you to find another hobby that has so many nice people. I'm sure you know what I mean.

      Unfortunately, there are bad apples in every bunch and I discovered HIM in July 2008. While researching my FULLER family, I was stunned to find a web site, that displayed 16 of MY PHOTOS!!!!!.

      The site belongs to JAMES CALLOW KELLER.

      Here are MY PHOTOS on JAMES CALLOW KELLER'S web pages:

      These thumbnail photos were ALL taken directly from larger originals on my web pages, which came directly from our family photo album. There is no difference between stealing them from my web site and stealing them from my living room. The photos do not belong to James Callow Keller, however, James Callow Keller seems unconcerned about his theft.

      I decided that James Callow Keller must be uneducated about things such as courtesy, respect, copyright and theft....so I wrote him a very nice email.

Hello James,

      I can see that you share my passion for genealogy and have put in a lot of time and work on your web site. I have been doing my family tree since I was 10 years old, which has expanded greatly with the help of the Internet. I "met" many cousins who shared their family research with me so that, eventually, I was able to compile the information and publish an extensive FULLER, HATCH, LEWIS, etc. genealogy on my site. As I said, I am always happy to share my information with everyone and have willingly, generously and openly make my research available, with my "cousins".

      When I visited your web site, I found that you availed yourself of much of what I posted, on my FULLER family. I have no problem with that. However, I was taken by surprise when I discovered my family photos were also on your web pages. That is not alright with me. You have photos of my grandmother, great grandparents, tombstone photos that I personally took of my great-great-grandparents, and others, that you do not have the right to post on your website. If you would like to put a link to my photos, that would be fine.....but you cannot just take them and post them as your own. Again, I have no problem sharing my work and research with anyone in my family tree. But taking my personal photos is not OK.

      No hard feelings if you remove them and replace them with a link to the photos, or whatever else you choose. I understand your enthusiasm, but you can't just take photos off of other people's web pages.

      One more thing.......there is no such person as Joseille Brice...I would very much appreciate that you delete the child, as she is a living individual and I do not wish her personal information exposed on the internet.

Thank you.

 
I waited over two weeks for a reply that never came. I decided to re-send the same email, adding the following at the top:

August 14, 2008

This is a re-send of the message that I sent to you on July 29, 2008. I would very much appreciate a reply.

(The message above followed.)

 
This time I waited for almost 5 weeks and no reply came. My third message was a re-send of the previous two, with this comment at the top:

September 21, 2008

I am attempting to communicate with you one last time. I really hope that you reply this time. I am trying to avoid communicating with you publicly on my website. Whatever I write there, cannot be erased, once the search engines catalog it. Please reply.

(The original message followed)

 
Finally accepting that JAMES CALLOW KELLER has no intention of communicating with me, I sent him the following:

September 29, 2008

James,

I am disappointed that you didn't have the courtesy to respond to my email, or remove the photos from your web site, that you took (stole) from me, without permission. You have left me with few options, therefore, I will be working on a new page, for my web site, that will share your dishonest, dishonorable, immoral thievery with our other cousins, who should be aware of your character.

Unfortunately, should you decide, in the future, that your actions were wrong and you choose to apologize, it will be too late. Once the search engines catalog and index the page, it will forever remain in their archives, even if I were to remove my page.

I will send you the link, as soon as I upload the new page. I truly regret that you did not respect the rights of others and that I am forced to communicate in this fashion. I mistakenly thought you were an honorable person.

Jowest


 
 
 

MESSAGE TO JAMES CALLOW KELLER:

 
      I deeply regret that you made the poor choice, not only to steal 16 photos from my web site, but that you acted the coward by not replying to four messages, over a period of two months. Ironically, had you shown any of the manners that I'm sure your mother taught you, and shown integrity, morals and class, by asking my permission for copies of my pictures, I would have gladly shared them with you.

      Therefore, until I receive an explanation and a sincere apology from you, which will likely bruise your ego, you will remain an embarrassing example of the very rare bad apples, among the millions of wonderful genealogist and cousins around the world.

Very sincerely,

Jowest
