Regardless...this was a VA error and not an error made by Ancestry.com. The deceased have no privacy rights while the living do...those misidentified as being deceased were the result of an error on the part of the VA. I think we've discussed this issue sufficiently on the list. Thanks! Joan, admin PHILLY-ROOTS@rootsweb.com In a message dated 2/3/2012 6:50:19 P.M.

Bad enough, especially for an agency that has done this before, but nothing like the 14.5 million claimed in Mr. Stackhouse's e-mail. See http://www.va.gov/opa/pressrel/pressrelease.cfm?id=2250.
