Hi Everyone, I have noticed that our email addresses are available on our archive for any spammer to gather up! Before the site went down they were all shown in shaded characters that could not easily be picked up by scammers. I wonder why Ancestry has changed this, or whether it is just an error on their part?Val McPS Happy Birthday Vi
Hi Val and fellow Golders ! I agree with your comments about Ancestry.....very slack right now ! One thing I'm not keen on , is when I start to "Sign on", as soon as I have got as far as " bru....." in the username line , up comes the works ...Password and all....so any Shrike can get into my homepage . I had no clue anyone could tap into our site at FG for our E.Mails.....thanks for th word ! I don't like the way some people on Ancestry do a straight copy from a "Public" Tree onto their own ! I "caught " one bloke red-handed, and sent an Ancestry Message to him , and asked could he confirm where he got the details of my 4 x Grt.Grand-dad , William Graham from. I had viewed this guy's Tree before, and Auld Will was'nt there...he appeared there only two weeks after I had entered his details ! The Correspondent replied with :- " I don't know really----he just looked right , there !".....great Researcher Eh !? I also don't admire Ancestry much any more, as once I was invited to enter my Y-DNA Results from FTDNA , which I did Manually.....from that I gained a whole bunch more of " Fairly Close Matches", and still Correspond with some of them ...BUT NOW I can't bring up the List of Matches . Ancestry said words like :-" We no longer support the area of DNA Records you are seeking"....very polite n'all, but no much use to me ! Good job I printed off the List early in the piece ! I must admit though , Ancestry have excellent Records, with stuff like "WW1 Soldiers' Information"...."Passenger Lists etc" Great how Our Vi keeps a'going. Vi just responded to a Happy Birthday E.Card I sent her , and told me she is going out to Celebrate ....good for her ! All the Best the 'noo, Bruce Graham -----Original Message----- From: val mcleish via Sent: Monday, April 04, 2016 4:09 AM To: [email protected] Subject: FERMANAGH-GOLD Archive shows email addresses and Happy Birthday Vi Hi Everyone, I have noticed that our email addresses are available on our archive for any spammer to gather up!
