It's not wrong at all. I feel it isn't right when you try to pass it off as your own. Let me explain what happened to me. I spent years of research and money for certificates putting together my tree. Then, in the hopes of finding a living relative, no matter how distant, I put it out there. Lo and behold, I did hear from someone. He wasn't even a relative, but his partner was. This person only had about 12 people on his tree so I sent him my entire tree of that family line. About two months later, I found another relative and tried to communicate with her, told her I had lots of info, but she brushed me off. I wrote to her several times and always the same response and then she finally told me that he had sent her the tree and said he had done all the work on it. I don't know what she was thinking. So, I stopped trying to communicate. Then, several months later, out of the blue, I receive an e-mail from her telling me that she went over the info he sent her again and looked at the heading and say "my" e-mail address on there. She apologized for doubting me. Needless to say, I never wrote back. This type of person I really don't need to deal with. They were both wrong.

You did absolutely the right thing, and please don't get the wrong idea. I was just venting in that post.
