I have noticed that a number of parts of my family tree have been included on the site http://www.rootsweb.com/~lkawgw/index2.html as burgerfamilies. There branches of my family tree have no connection withSri lanka. e.g. Family 1096 Thomas Chamberlain Family 1094 Joseph Moret. It would be interesting to know who placed these records on the site and why. Note that at no time have I ever given permission for my records to be placed on this site.

You are right Peter, my family are there as well. #1142 and noted as Burgher, which is not true.. It seems my information has been comes from an email which I sent to a particular person, the Sri Lankan genforum, or this mailing list in the past, looking for information....not giving information ~ and I have named as the submitter...but named by my Maiden name..which I did not use on my email.. So it appears that someone is gleaning the information we write to this list or wherever and using it to pad the http://www.rootsweb.com/~lkawgw/index.html website Downright rude I would say..since we were not even asked if it could be submitted...especially since in my case the genealogy information has been incorrectly stated and corrupted by assumptions made by whoever submitted..and as it appears in your case as well I suggest everyone check their family trees on this site. Jennifer Van de Greft's family is on there as well...I noticed the name..as I guess, are many more.

Goodmorning Peter and Gay, I gave family information for that website as my mother was born in Sri Lanka, from her mother's side she is a Buultjens and from father's side a Solomons. Some of the names /dates are (by now) incorrect or not updated, I did not pass this on. For the families that are non-Ceylon you should write to the webmaster and give/ask clarification. regards, Jennifer On 01/12/05, Gay Fielding <gayze@tpg.com.au> wrote: > You are right Peter, my family are there as well. #1142 and noted as > Burgher, which is not true.. > It seems my information has been comes from an email which I sent to a > particular person, the Sri Lankan genforum, or this mailing list in the > past, looking for information....not giving information ~ and I have > named as the submitter...but named by my Maiden name..which I did not use on > my email.. > So it appears that someone is gleaning the information we write to this list > or wherever and using it to pad the > http://www.rootsweb.com/~lkawgw/index.html website > > Downright rude I would say..since we were not even asked if it could be > submitted...especially since in my case the genealogy information has been > incorrectly stated and corrupted by assumptions made by whoever > submitted..and as it appears in your case as well > I suggest everyone check their family trees on this site. > > Jennifer Van de Greft's family is on there as well...I noticed the name..as > I guess, are many more. > Thanks for alerting us > Cheers > Gay > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Peter Goggin" <prgoggin@swiftdsl.com.au> > To: <SRILANKA-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Thursday, December 01, 2005 10:13 PM > Subject: [SRILANKA] Non Burgher families on site list. > > > >I have noticed that a number of parts of my family tree have been > > included on the site http://www.rootsweb.com/~lkawgw/index2.html > > as burgerfamilies.
