After notifying ancestry.com and with their response, I didn't renew my subscription for a while, but finally did. I did notify some of the tree owners, the process just goes on & on, one copying from another & another. Two that I know of then changed their trees to not being seen to the public. One is an elderly lady I talk to several times a year, and she just didn't seem to understand, so I just let it go. I did go in to my website and put a notice in bold and fairly large print "Please DO NOT copy any of these photos for your online family trees or other publications without my consent". I have had a few that have asked and I give them permission and ask they document where the image came from and I really appreciate those who do. I've had many share with me and I certainly want to do the same, and sorry to say I have some images that I received when I first started that I didn't document where they came from. I know that as researchers we all are helped by others, and as newbies, they don't have a clue what serious researchers do, the time, money etc. that we've invested. But, we were all newbies at one point, so I just try to deal with it as best I can. Thanks, and thanks again for all your help over the years to me and to all who post on this forum. Syble
