If someone feels his/her tree was changed on Ancestry we can't really argue (as maybe some kind of bug caused it to be insecure or the whole thing occurred long ago when policies allowed someone in . . . we can't be sure that was never the policy). What i can suggest is deleting the tree (be sure you have the data in your possession first) and putting in a new one, as now no one is allowed into your subscription tree or trees. No tree i have added (public or private)(and i do trees for other people and have a huge number) has been changed by anyone other than by someone i have invited to that tree and given 'editor' status to. If you don't want changes made, make sure anyone you invite has only 'guest' status, not 'editor' and not 'contributor.' 'Sharing' allows you to invite people and it might be possible to make a mistake when doing that. If that happened, you could delete the tree. There are ways to manage invitees, but in Carol's case, it sounds like deleting the tree is the best option. - b <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> Virus-free. www.avg.com <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> On Sun, Nov 25, 2018 at 11:32 AM <genealogy-dna-request@rootsweb.com> wrote: > Send GENEALOGY-DNA mailing list submissions to > genealogy-dna@rootsweb.com > > To subscribe via email send a message with subject subscribe and body > subscribe to genealogy-dna-request@rootsweb.com > > To unsubscribe via email send a message with subject unsubscribe and > body unsubscribe to genealogy-dna-request@rootsweb.com > > You can reach the person managing the list at > genealogy-dna-owner@rootsweb.com > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of GENEALOGY-DNA digest..." > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
