I was just on Ancestry when a window came up saying I had been randomly chosen for a survey. There was a place at the end to tell them what I thought of the site. I have just raised the issue with them and given them a "blast" about this issue.

Unfortunately once we drop off the twig there is no chance of contacting us to ammend records that appeared to be correct on the date they were entered. Perhaps Ancestry need to look at how to address the problem.

Later he actaully refered me to his site to check for inforamtion on this family, even denying the site was maintained by him. A sharp publicly listed rebuke still bought no apology. At least the information was correct as at that date. I have not informed him of later removals etc as proof of the research mounted. The LDS site also has many ancestral files and pedigree files including my relations with incorrect parents, spouses etc. Have tried contacting the people posting the information with copies of the documentation refuting their entries, again no correction of the data. BEWARE, VERIFY ALL INTERNET INFORMATION!!!
