Hello fellow rootsweb persons:

Just wanted to share breifly the woes of sharing your
FAMILY TREE ( your hard work) with other genealogy
people. ( I have mainly run into great people involved
in the hobby of genealogy).

On this website, the information I emailed ( a few
years ago) to a lady was a quality outline - something that didn't at all need tweeking.
But low and behold I see the lady I emailed is a
rootsweb contributor and splashed my family tree outline
( the one I emailed to her - NOT an outline she put together herself) on the World connect webpage.
I guess its not extremly terrible - I didn't have
living persons listed. Just imagine if I did.
My aggravation is that I see my family tree online
at ROOTSWEB.COM and I wasn't the Contributor of it -
this other lady was. That seems creepy.
I have contacted the Contributor to ask her to make
ONE correction to the Online family Tree - the one
she POSTED. But nothing has happened. I have been polite
about it. The Correction DOES make a difference.
I know some things about a Family Tree doesn't really
matter if they are incorrect or off.
But the type of correction I requested DOES matter. She has it strangely wrong.
And believe me it is Strange how this person twisted my Family Tree and made it in a way that was never meant to be. ( wrongfully tweeked information )
It is really creepy. My polite request(s) for her to make ONE significant correction is ignored.

Just wanted to tell others the woes of sharing
your family tree. Because over zealous people can tweek it in a way that makes you aggravated and Post it on Rootsweb.com.
This sort of thing just about deters me from genealogy.
