WARNING:
2010 Census - Cautions from the Better Business Bureau
Be Cautious About Giving Info to Census Workers by Susan Johnson With the U.S. Census process beginning, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) advises people to be cooperative, but cautious, so as not to become a victim of fraud or identity theft . The first phase of the 2010 U.S. Census is under way as workers have begun verifying the addresses of households across the country. Eventually, more than 140,000 U.S. Census workers will count every person in the United States and will gather information about every person living at each address including name, age, gender, race, and other relevant data. The big question is - how do you tell the difference between a U.S. Census worker and a con artist? BBB offers the following advice: ** If a U.S. Census worker knocks on your door, they will have a badge, a Census Bureau canvas bag, and a confidentiality notice. Ask to see their identification and their badge before answering their questions.. However, you should never invite anyone you don't know into your home. ** Census workers are currently only knocking on doors to verify address information. Do not give your Social Security number, credit card or banking information to anyone, even if they claim they need it for the U.S. . Census. REMEMBER, NO MATTER WHAT THEY ASK, YOU REALLY ONLY NEED TO TELL THEM HOW MANY PEOPLE LIVE AT YOUR ADDRESS.
While the Census Bureau might ask for basic financial information, such as a salary range, YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT YOUR FINANCIAL SITUATION.The Census Bureau will not ask for Social Security, bank account, or credit card numbers, nor will employees solicit donations. Any one asking for that information is NOT with the Census Bureau. AND REMEMBER, THE CENSUS BUREAU HAS DECIDED NOT TO WORK WITH ACORN ON GATHERING THIS INFORMATION.. No ACORN worker should approach you saying he/she is with the Census Bureau. Eventually, Census workers may contact you by telephone, mail, or in person at home. However, the Census Bureau will not contact you by Email, so be on the lookout for Email scams impersonating the Census. A census form, consisting of one page and ten questions, will be mailed to every household in March. If the form is completed and mailed back to the Census Bureau by April 1, there should not be a further Census contact. Never click on a link or open any attachments in an Email that are supposedly from the U.S. Census Bureau.

The Buckners of Virginia and the allied families of Strother and Ashby
By William Armstrong Crozier, Howard Randolph Bayne
Some reader's have Negative out put on this book.
" This book is highly influential, but in some parts the errors are extremely bad. Everything up to page 16 (the supposed English ancestry of the immigrant John Buckner) is a disaster of bizarre misinterpretations and outright falsehoods. Hardly a single conclusion in that section is correct. Probably the worst errors, after the English genealogy, are in the treatment of William Buckner of "the Neck" on page 112 ff. The alleged immigrant Thomas Buckner of "the Dragon" on pages 154 and 167 never existed. Thomas Buckner of "Lake Farm" (p. 87), Frances Buckner (p. 122), George Buckner (p. 130), and Thomas Buckner "of Mill Hill" (p. 171) are demonstrably put into the wrong families.

User Review - Information on Thomas Buckner is in error because it confuses one Thomas Buckner with his predecessor.
