It doesn't give my name but it certainly is my data--even my errors before corrections! How do they get away with this and what can we do about it? Helen -------- Helen- Who is "they?" Ancestry does not "take" anyone's data. We've thoroughly covered this topic on the list recently and many times in the past. People SUBMIT the data someplace. If you didn't submit your family tree to Ancestry specifically you submitted it *somplace* or to other people who, in turn, added it to their trees. Did you perhaps submit a tree to World Family Tree via FTM? If so, then it was published on CDs and you will many other researchers incorporating your data into their files and citing your WFT file as their source. If you tell us a bit more (in detail) so that we can check out the files to which you refer, then we could probably give you a better answer as to how your data ended up where you are finding it. But Ancestry most definitely didn't "take" your data. Someone or more than one person submitted it. Joan
