Hopefully the loophole will get closed now.

Asa, how awful!

When I was more naive I was only too thrilled to exchange information with people researching the same people as me. Then I found out that one person had just wholesale lifted a lot of my descendants from our common ancestor but incorrectly assumed they'd all been born in the same place as the common ancestor.

I found this out when she'd passed this on to another person who put it on her webpage. When I emailed the webpage person I got my email sent back as undeliverable, so the error is in the public domain. But after being worked up about it, I thought any decent researcher will check the facts. I'm much more cautious now when contacted by people who think we're connected.

But your situation is much more personal and I do hope it can be resolved satisfactorily.

Thanks Nell - I shall send them a stern email tomorrow as it's not been resolved. We were mostly a bit naive to start with weren't we. I'm a bit too much the other way now alas.

Has it been resolved now, Asa?
I, too, was naive initially with sharing research information.

It took about three weeks for my name to be removed from others' trees.
