If they have a link, they cannot be made to remove it from their tree!

Just put it in perspective, you can get names from Census's 1841 - 1901, more from 192,etc. These are collections of names, skeletons, no more.

Our 'Family Trees' are fleshed with our hours of hunting for proofs, certificates & if we are lucky, photos.

2 very different things! Do not take it personaly.


Over the years I have helped other people with searches for their relatives, on here & on other sites. It is very easy to get excited when you find someone who has been wrongly 'scribed', on a census even if there is no link to you.

At the moment I am trying to help a distant relation (our GGGGrandfathers were brothers), he wants to know about his GGrandmother.
Annie is no blood relative of mine!
The easiest way of getting infomation I have found, to him, was to add his line to mine! So would you say I am stealing his relatives? He does not think so!
