	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.

	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!! maggie

	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.....

	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!!!!! maggie

	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.

Member Since: June 2007 Posts: 11,453 Send Message	Well Ian I am certainly an adult and really can't understand why...if you find us so peurile ...you bothered to post at all! Funnily enough some of us are quite happy to be polite to each other. I wouldn't take rudeness from anyone in real life so why do you think we should take it in cyberland? I don't report people to gr though ,I confront them instead.If that looks like teddy out the cot syndrome well thats your opinion! Do have a nice day Ian...Fi

Member Since: May 2006 Posts: 3,373 Send Message	Sorry Angela I'm so irritated by Mr Ian Wintrip ! If this site is so ' puerile and lightweight ' why are you bothering to post, or be a member here? Civility costs nothing ! Lin x
