Kasia, thank you for making us aware of this. I wasn't aware of it. Rena, I am wondering what your thoughts are about Rootsweb changing to Ancestry? How they will handle the information we share on this forum? I have never minded sharing my information with anyone, but I sure don't want it to be sold to enhance Ancestrys money making business. Most of our research was done by time consuming hard work and expense. For a company to have to do nothing but "copy and paste", put it on a CD and sell it, bothers me. I have read some blog from the website below, but I would like to hear what our list has to say about it. Thanks, Cora Sue Linton Waynesboro, VA \o/The Lord Inhabits Praise (http://blog.eogn.com/eastmans_online_genealogy/2008/03/rootsweb-to-be.html)

I would like to complain about ancestry.com and also exchanging information with relatives I have found on the internet. I was thrilled to find a cousin in California on the web. She and I corresponded and she was going to send me some information and I mailed her some. I have not heard from her since and all the years of research I have done on our Hylton and Dickerson family is now posted on lds.org and also on ancestry.com. I am outraged. It does not matter to me that her is listed as doing the work, what outrages me is the fact that I had made a promise to my father that as long as any of his siblings were still living nothing would be made available to any of these sights. I feel betrayed and it has made me regret sending or sharing my information. I am sorry that you all have to listen to me complain but I am deeply hurt and feel that I let my Father down.

Hi, I agree that info shared by someone else about living relatives should not be put online. I have an online Tree that has my name on it, and the only other living relatives (3)?on it have asked to be on it. But if you share and don't tell other person to keep it private or not publish it, you have no control over their actions. As for Ancestry and LDS site, they have no control over info or trees sent to them. If they did, maybe I wouldn't have to spend so much time disproving half of what I find. I am sorry that you are mad or feeling betrayed but don't stop helping others. Thanks, Jimmy M.
