    1. [Lanark] Re stealing my family tree
    2. billannieliam
    3. Hello Lanark list People have been lifting large chunks of my carefully researched and proven family tree for years and adding it on to their own family who usually are no relation to mine whatsoever. I've sort of gotten over my annoyance because if I send them a polite message they either don't reply or else say that they got it from someone else.Hmmmmmmm!! But the latest one has got me really cranky. My great great greats were born, married and died in Glasgow Lanarkshire (I hold the certificates) but a woman in the USA has added them and their children to her own tree (all information exactly taken from my work) and has just changed their places of death to Beaver Pennsylvania!!Good grief!!She has even added on another child. I've just sent her a polite e mail but I doubt that she will bother to reply and there really isn't much I can do about it I guess Just wondering if other list folk have had the some experiences? Thanks for listening.Just needed to get it off my chest Annie
