Dear List, Does anyone have experience in having a web site removed from the net which invades the privacy of families and those living. It is one thing to share information and to make genealogical information available to the wider community, but when irresponsible individuals post complete details of living people as well as addresses etc., without even asking permission, I believe something has to be done. In my case I have had some forty years of research stolen and placed on the web by a New Zealand person who invaded by trust. I have asked him to remove the various pages but so far he has refused to do so. The Australian family traces its descent back to the early 1600's and has numerous related families in the United States, Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand. The Australian families have been researched very thoroughly by me with the intention of publishing a history of the pioneers of the family but now that has become threatened by the loss of sales due to so much of it being stolen by this renegade in New Zealand. I would be interested to learn if there are any means in the United States of having web sites using American companies as the host, removed. The matter is all the more pressing as we are concerned over issues of private security against all kinds of extortion and other nasty possibilities. In a dangerous world we can do without irresponsible genealogists. Robert Ashley, Ballarat, Victoria.
