I really cannot understand why a couple of my "contacts" feel the need to copy every person in my family tree onto their tree. They cannot possibly be related to the "copiers". SAD

Oh, is it really only a fortnight since this topic was last aired? How time flies.

A member on Ancestry had one of my ancestors (who had died in Glaisdale, N Yorks) dying in Azerbaijan of all places !

I contacted the person and all she said was I just copied it from somewhere ! ! !

She did apologise and deleted it, but how stupid can some people be.

I'd love to know where the chap with over 50,000 relatives on his Ancestry tree finds the time (or money) to have done all that research!

Yeh! Right!

Mary, I have someone who let me see his tree, I only wanted to see my own families section of the tree, and he had nearly 90,000 names in it.
As you say, time, money. Phew, it beggars belief.
