Hello. I don't know if this reply "my orginal posing" Posted aleady.
-----------------
I'm the one who Originally started/posted the POST
titled: Why would someone submit my family info. Incorrectly ."

Most of the persons on here have been real nice and
I've heard the kind advice. Joan, AGhatchett, Jmyoung,
they've been great.

I don't want my original post to discourge anyone
from UPLOADING a family tree ( their quality masterpiece).
It will help the next genelogist.
It is so beneficial to whoever gets started with
looking info their family tree.
I certainly seen awesome outlines on the internet and
have really benefited from someone sharing it.
In Jan, I posted " Why would sumbit my family info Incorrectly..." I thought is necessary to START that
post because I was so aggravated at a Genealogist that
MIS-USED and twisted the info. that EXCLUSIVELY came
from me. I emailed her an outline about MY ancestors, just
so she could have it.
In turn, she Uploaded it on Rootweb.com and Created a
MyFamily.com website and Upload the same Incorrect info.
The only thing I can say is Incorrect/ Twisted around is that specific information I submitted to her.
I have emailed her, I have put "POST-ems" at Rootsweb.com
and she just doesn't do anything.

My situation is an ODD one.
I submitted information to a Genealogist and she twisted
it around to FILL in a GAP in her line.
The PROBLEM I have with this GENEALOGIST (its not anyone on this Worldconnect messg board) ....
is that she could not distinguish the facts.
My ancestor and Her ancestor HAPPEN to share the same
exact full name.
Once she saw that I had someone in my OUTLINE with that
Name..... she immediatly assumed it was HER ancestor.
The ancestor in which she had NO info. on.

The fact is: It is 2 different individuals.
However, they have the same name.
The problematic Genealogist cannot conceive of this.
Her ancestor was 11-12 years older than mine, born in a different state, had different parents and I know where My ancestor is buried.
I know that you could AT first glance JUMP to the conclusion that they are ONE-in the same.
However, there ARE facts that really do show they
are 2 different persons.
So that was the Problem.
Its OUT OF MY HANDS; I have done what I could to
explain the difference. She won't have it, she hasn't
corrected anything in the last 3 years.
ALL I CAN CONCLUDE is that she REALLY REALLY REALLY
wanted to fill in that GAP for her ancestor.
And its totally not correct.
It aggravates me, because of how simple it is to figure
it out.... she doesn't want to apply herself to LOOK into it. What she needs to Look into ISN"T to far back to check out. It really would be simple.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm moving on now.

I just encourage other Genelogist to Upload Family
tree stuff as accurately as possible.
I'm sure other genelogist's out there WILL GET it right
and will be a ASSET to rootweb.com and Myfamily.com.

I happen to run into a Genelogist that Twisted my info - to SUIT her ignorance and I TOTALLY regret sharing it with her.
So again, I encourage all the quality
researchers out there to please UPLOAD their info....
I know it is beneficial to other researchers.
And as you can understand having it pretty Accurate
is REAL helpful !!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm moving on though !!!
