Some years ago I downloaded a "Free" Family Tree chart from My Heritage. Because I liked the layout of the form, I transferred a gedcom of my family into it. Now that Roots Magic has web hints from My Heritage, I find that they have taken my information from my gedcom and posted it on their website. They posted the exact birth dated of LIVING people. I don't know how long it has been online as I only found out now that Roots Magic links to it. They claim the information came from public sources but I know that is not true because I had marked my direct line with a tic mark, and they copied that too. They have take the information down for living people once I notified them that is was there, but they had no right to take the info to start with. I just hope there was no damage done. Just beware!

Ancestry does the same thing, and what is more, they have all of my previous versions as well, and some of them had errors.
