Very interesting thread for an absolute newbie from Oz. I have been given permission to look at a tree (I did not request it). It never occurred to me to just copy it. We are both researching the same name (my grandmother) from similar areas and time frames. If it turns out we are related then I will ask permission to use only those parts that pertain to my personal branch, but I would still want to know more and research them to ensure they are correct.

Once bitten twice shy This happened to me once and I didn't realize they had copied the whole tree till my Dad came up in my Hot Matches. I had a look and my whole tree including me and my children (no names) were there. They have even entered my Mum's side of the family. We were only related 3 generations back and that was tenuous. I have now closed my tree to them but of course it's too late now. I did contact them and ask them to at least remove my Mum and Dad , husband and I and our children but no answer. I am much more wary now. Linda Linda |

Be very cautious...I opened my tree to the boyfriend of the g.g.granddaughter of my grandmother's sister and he took everything...including all my husbands family. When I withdrew access he contacted me to say he hadn't got everything he wanted. I have now scaled down the tree I have on GR and if anyone wants info I will pass on the relevant pieces. |
