Hi Jan, Don't you hate it when you have done all the hard work and someone thinks you did such a great job that they want to share it with the world? :-) Yeah, it stinks. I had an ISP (can you believe it!!) wanting to use my work on his web site because it would save him time--I not only told him no way (he had some suggestive stuff on his site) but I switched ISPs! That being said...I went to www.godaddy.com and typed in the domain name and then followed the links to find out "Who Is" Below is the information. My recommendation is to contact the company and the person who is listed as registrant and find out why this information is being published on their web site and how they obtained it. It also appears that they may be selling information from the web site. If you do not receive a response to your email, there is a phone number listed. Since you have stated that none of your info can be used, I would think that's sufficient for anyone to be able to understand. However, that doesn't mean someone won't try to use your info if they figure you're not going to check up on them.

Hi Gang As Most Of You Know I Have A Website Containing My Database http://www.buffnet.net/~logic/ Select Death Notices 1880 - 2004 While Googling Around I Wandered Into This Site http://www.obits.cc/obit/569.html And Found MY List Of Death Notices, Each Name Linking Not Back To My Page But To http://www.obits.cc/ On That Page A Paragraph I Am Upset With Is: "There are three kinds of supporters of this site; personal, corporate, and genealogical history groups or affiliates. All groups may have additional sites that may duplicate information found here." This Is MY Work....I Didn't Duplicate Anything...They Copied My Work!! There Is No Doubt About This Since I Decided To List The Surnames For Females By Any/ALL ie: EBERLE-MORAN-MILLER, Geraldine I Offer My Work FREE To Help People, This Obits.cc Site Is Charging People!! I Began My Work Over 5 Years Ago & My 1st Installment Is In Print Form At The Buffalo & Erie County Public Library (Central) And Also At The Family History Center On Maple Rd. Can Anyone Give Me Some Insights As To What Course Of Action I Might Take?
