Hi,Roberta, Firstly I am in England so American law is somewhat different to ours. The problem may be that the data was put on their web site either by a member of the Chase list,( I did give a cd with the gedcom on it to some mebers). Alternatively it may have been given by the owner of the Server of the Chase site. I do not believe we can stop familytree.com and Ancestry.com from using the data and selling. I may be wrong. I am trying to contact Dennis Partridge who owns both the Surnameweb and Genealogy surnames site. I need to search my own archies to find what the Site address was immediately after the big crash on Surnameweb. It is unfortunate that I had an accident and dropped my 3 backup portable Hard Drives on the floor and only one now works. One of the other 2 I used only for video and film editing. To add to my woes I have some people who have asked to have details of living relatives removed. At this time I am unable to access the site to alter or remove data. Please bear with me as I have so many things going on at this time as I am expecting my Aussie cousins here in a week's time Keith Hume ----- Original Message ----- From: Roberta Williams To: k.hume3@ntlworld.com Sent: Sunday, August 27, 2006 3:12 AM Subject: re:exploitation of Chase philantropy Mr. Hume; is there a way to organize Chase family members who feel exploited or violated by Chase.familytreeguide.com and get an injuntion to prevent them from distributing this personal information for profit? I'd be interested and willing to help. Im one of a few up here in Maine that digs and helps others voluntarily and I'd hate to think others might be exploiting that information-and hard to believe they are Chases at all.
