Member Since: October 2003 Posts: 628 Send Message	I had a contact last week asking to view my tree. I was going away on holiday and allowed them access. Imagine my upset when i returned to find she had put all my relatives into her tree. including my children. Am I wrong to feel this way, of all the trees i have been allowed access to i have never once wanted to put in anyone who just might be a part of my tree however far removed. she had over five and half thousand names in hers, i only have over 400 but every one of those names means something to me. i feel i know them all as I have only ever put my direct line on here. I could have 1000's myself but they would be so far removed they would mean nothing to me. this person who took my info now is my no1 hot match with 107 of my names. am I being selfish? I've never minded showing anyone my tree and if i have i have asked that they respect my living names. Also on my account page i ticked the option to hide living relations so how did this person get to view them?
