Family Tree

Is it just me or do you think that some so-called professional genealogists out there can be a little overly demanding and rather rude when they visit your local history and genealogy collection?  It's as if they expect you to have both sides of their family tree fully researched, published and bound neatly into one little book complete with pictures of their family patriarch and tales of all his exploits. Just because your ancestor was notorious in 'ye old family lore' doesn't mean he was newsworthy to anyone outside your family. Sorry grandpa.
