Hi Max, I don't think Ancestry care. It is a very big money making business and the more information that is submitted to them for free the more they have to offer their paying customers. Whether the information is right or wrong or whether people can be contacted or not is of no concern to them, the main object is to make money! The only way not to have your information copied is to not put it in the public domain in the first place. There are of course legal issues with copyright but it's all so expensive to pursue and so hard to prove that nobody much bothers. Carol
