Thanks Taff made a note of that.
Just looked at my tree and he has at least taken me of his tree, as I back to 9 matches and not 10.
Will have a look around the site you have surgested after emmerdale and eastenders.

Oooh can I have a moan about tree thieves too :o)
Someone who was distantly related to my dad's STEPFATHER tried to nick my tree. I foolishly sent him a message, to see if he was interested in dad's stepfather, as he was an interesting bloke, and I could send him some info. to 'pad' out a name. Unfortunately it was during a GR 'glitch' and it opened my tree.
This bloke gaily copied my tree- mainly my mum's side - but in his haste guessed places of birth etc.-
Albert Turner is now more related to me than my own father was!!!!!

lol maggie........had the same happen to me, and when I checked his tree the 'relation' was a second marriage to some distant relation of his.....to me no connection at all.......and for this he pinched everything back to 1700......which was the work of a genealogist who had been working on the name for 35 years.......

......I felt so bad that this had happened I removed a great branch of my family.......and I hope his tree gets struck by lightening.....

HI Sally,
I'm afraid I just changed the odd date and place of birth - but I have to remember which ones, so I can let genuine relly's know!!
I haven't got many names on my tree, despite doing it for 20 years - but I have an awful lot of information on the people I do have.which makes it even more annoying that he nicked it when I was going to give him information - he's obviousy just a name gatherer!!
Personally, I'd find it a bit creepy to have totally unrelated people on my tree - those I do have - even when I've found them through other people's trees - are researched by me before being put on my tree - I like to get to know them!!

Hi Taff, the GR Team didn't do anything as I asked him my self to take of my living relatives. They did say if I had a problem still to get back to them, but he's has made a start.
