Thank you for your reply--I decided the quickest way was to delete the account.  I had half a dozen old accounts left over from the time when I ran a Y-DNA project at Ancestry and I have activated another one.  I did lose the tree I started yesterday, but rebuilding it won't take too long.  Although Ancestry has the best system I've seen yet, there should be a quick, easy way to delete trees you don't want or need. Lindsey  -----Original Message----- From: LornaMoa <lornamoa@gmail.com> To: genealogy-dna <genealogy-dna@rootsweb.com> Cc: Lindsey Britton <lplantagenet@aol.com> Sent: Thu, Nov 29, 2018 8:09 pm Subject: Re: [DNA] Deleting Trees from Ancestry Account Lindsey when you select Trees > Create or Mange trees I'd guess from what you are saying about being a contributor that these are these under the  tab Trees Shared with me  rather than  My trees ie created/owned by you If so, look on the rhs beyond where it says Guest / editor / contributor and click on the remove from list Lorna Henderson http://LornaHen.com On 30/11/18 13:22, Lindsey Britton via GENEALOGY-DNA wrote: > I activated an old Ancestry account for my mother's DNA results.  I was surprised to find  three trees associated with this account, one with the name Britton.  The Britton tree says I am a contributor.  I have no idea who these Brittons are and never contributed anything to their tree because they aren't related to me.  How do I delete these unwanted trees and how did they get into my account? Lindsey > > _______________________________________________ > Email preferences: http://bit.ly/rootswebpref > Unsubscribe https://lists.rootsweb.com/postorius/lists/genealogy-dna@rootsweb.com > Privacy Statement: https://ancstry.me/2JWBOdY Terms and Conditions: https://ancstry.me/2HDBym9 > Rootsweb Blog: http://rootsweb.blog > RootsWeb is funded and supported by Ancestry.com and our loyal RootsWeb community
