I never give out my own name or info on living persons either. I had a case on my wife's side of the family, where the individual put my family info (Me, wife, & kids) and my wife's sisters' and brothers' info out there without our permission. When we contacted him, he agreed to take the names and birthdates off of me and my wife and kids but was snotty about removing the brothers' and sisters' family info. Fortunately Rootsweb World Connect installed the software that cleaned the living people out, so it was removed anyway! I think most of the websites tell you to contact the poster of the info. Not sure they do anything if the person refuses to even listen to you. Genealogy.com I believe is now owned and operated by Ancestry (MyFamily.com). So I believe you probably would contact Ancestry (MyFamily.com). Hope this info helps. Carl Sprouse
