Plagiarism not unusual in genealogy

The website Plagiarism.org uses the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary definition to define plagiarism as follows:

• to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one’s own

• to use (another’s production) without crediting the source

• to commit literary theft

• to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source

Plagiarism is not only a fraudulent act, it is a lie perpetrated by the plagiarist who passes someone else’s work off as his own.
