I am very careful on where I post my tree. I see no advantage of using Ancestry as they are the ones that benefit from it. The only place my tree and in this case just basic facts are posted is with Family Tree DNA. The information I post there is not downloadable unlike Ancestry and some other sites. When I first started doing Genealogy back around1988 I compared my tree to one the LDS had and found a number of mistakes on their tree. As RR said "Trust but verify"

What do I do? I had the opportunity a while ago, to go on Ancestory.com thanks to a cousin of mine who has a subscription. Looking at her tree and the 'hint' leaves that are flashing...i got curious to see what else they may have online about him. Someone unknown to us is using my grandfathers picture, his name and my grandmothers name on their own tree. This person on Ancestory has my grandfather being buried in California when he's actually buried here in Canada. They also have him married to a second woman and that just is WRONG!!! I've already wrote to this person twice but they've never replied. Any suggestions on what else I could do to make sure the wrong info isn't out there about my family?
