A while back I discovered an error I had made on some research. I had shared this research with a "cousin". Trouble is, that error has now been published on various sites, including the LDS site. I was able to get a whole line removed from Ancestry, but I understand you now have to jump through hoops to get them to remove anything. The Family Tree Maker site still contains the faulty information. At least my name was not used on any of the sites, so I can't be blamed ;) Another cousin had published private information on their site and it took several letters to their ISP to get it removed. It has made us real hesitant to share our information, which is truly sad since that is what Genealogy is supposed to be about.
