Do you have an interesting family tree story?

[aliceaevdb]

Hello,

Just out of curiosity, would this person (or anyone else, for that matter), be able to simply copy and publish any of the fascinating stories on this site, as they are in the public domain? Is there any legislation to prevent this? Social networking and forum users are often quoted in newspapers and magazines - would they have to give their permission to be 'quoted' or have their comments published, or is it just professional courtesy to ask permission? I hate to sound cynical, but what would happen if someone were to notice their 'story' in a publication - especially following this?

Those are good questions.

Isn't it sad though when we are led down this road thoughtwise because of what society has become.

I agree with the OP that we should not tar everyone with the same brush therefore I am sure she will allay our worries when she next logs into the forum 

At least thats what I am hoping as I have managed to find out some very interesting facts about my ancestors

Its me being cynical again:

1) the request is for women only

2) your photograph is required

3) wants to talk to you on the phone, therefore I presume you supply your phone number in the PM he(?) has requested.

4) your family tree would also include your age, and marital status

Me thinks it sounds a tad "fishy" (just my opinion).

The only thing interesting about my ancestors is whether they used a pick, spade, or get-away cart....

Think that summarizes it Les. How much longer are we going to keep this thread going I wonder?

The original poster hasn't been online since 25 July so naturally they've not responded to this thread but will perhaps choose to do so in the future. Meanwhile please remember what Administration has already posted-

The OP has not been online for over a week and may - or may not - have seen your comments.  Let's hope that a response is given soon.  They may be able to allay the worries being expressed but in the meantime, there is no obvious reason not to present a friendly welcome to this member. 

If you have any major concerns, please report them to the moderating team and let them deal with the matter.  It is the best way forward.

Thank you.
