I found my tree had been copied by several people on ancestry and it includes living people. i.e my mum and her sister and brother. I have permission to use their names in my tree but have not given anybody else the right to do so. Did contact them and one admitted that he had just copied it of somebody else but that person has never responded. |

This is why I DON'T share my tree with anyone. Had to ask someone to take me, my kids and loads of living relatives OFF the internet about 18 mths/2 yrs ago. They also had my Grandparents (both deceased) but I asked for their names to be removed as well. There was no point in having any of us on the internet, She wasn't and wouldn't gain further contacts from the names. I really sympathize with you. PLEASE let us know the outcome. Elaine ;-) |

I understand that people want to grow their trees and I really have no objection to them adding anything I have given them..... but I do ask everyone I give access to not to put Grandma in and anyone below her on their GR tree! Offline they can put all of us in, we don't mind but don't want that info online!! xx |

If I was to receive a request to remove a name from my tree, then I wouldn't hesitate.... I sincerely hope that the person you have contacted takes your feelings on board. If they don't, surely GR can get the person to remove your Grandma at least.... ? I WOULD name and shame if they don't remove after a polite request. We could all bombard them with requests to remove... {{{{{{HUGS}}}}}} Elaine ;-) |

Me PM'd them anyway as they have Grandma in their tree too and she is very much alive - they will have presumed she is dead as she is 102 next month..... and I have politely asked them to remove them both..... I am hoping they will understand!! xx |

Oh, Dianna, i just cried for you... I had the same thing....except it's my daddy's children from his second marriage... I had an email from the lad this morning asking to view my tree....I find it REALLY upsetting..(more so as he's the brother of the ** thats been causing me trouble of late...) I would Pm the person and as it's a 'remote' connection they will probably remove it... Sending you a MASSIVE hug..... LOU XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX |
