Genealogy Chat

I THINK I know who you are talking about. I offered to do something for them, but they were so rude in their messages to me I have decided that I am changing my own ''Terms and Conditions'', and will no longer be bothering with my offer to them: if they come back asking why I have not been in touch, they will wish they never asked!! Maybe I could fine them for something......??? Merry

I don't know which site you are talking about but it occurs to me that no-one who has genuinely not done look ups for others has anything to worry about. 'Those proven to be using our service to provide a look-up service will be liable to a charge of £5 per distinct name for which they have searched.' The web site concerned would have to provide positive proof that look ups were offered.

Janet, you would have thought so ........... but the fact is, YOU have to proove your FT to them by GEDCOM file. The poor person who this particular thread is about, has been sent an e.mail stating that they MUST send a FT on GEDCOM or they will NOT reinstate the account. This is impossible for this person to do. I DON'T know how/when or IF they will charge the £6000+ .... I will let everyone know IF I am told. The only suggestion I could come up with for this particular person, is to CANCEL the current Credit Card, so that the company concerned takes NO further payments from the bank account. I have been told about a further 2 people, since I put this thread up, and a third has made herself known to have exactly the same problem. Elaine ;-)

Please e-mail me the company name, I'm pretty sure I know who it is and I'd be suprised if this is correct but I will check it out. Carol www.genealogyprinters(.)com

I think you should give their name, it will give them bad publicity - who wants to deal with a company like this. I can never understand why, if you have paid for units you cant use those in any way you want. They arent losing out - the units have been paid for. I am always amazed that Ancestry, which is a huge corporation, doesnt seem to notice the number of look ups on here. But I think they understand that once someone realises the resources available on ancestry through a look up they very quickly take out a sub.

Could you pm me please Bev

I am about to renew my subscription with Ancestry. Would someone kindly tell me which company these messages are referring to. Thank you Margaret

can anybody tell me why this is the only website that allows people doing look ups to copy and paste the results straight from another website, this is illegal, you can spot them a mile away they offten have View Records in them and the names in no order, and also to advertise to send images too, which is illegal Roots Chat will remove any census look up copyed and pasted from a website and you have to site the copyright to the National Archives, why are they so paranoid, do they know something about the law the people on this site do not know about, i can one day see Ancestry stoping this and this site possably even being removed for allowig this to happen, it is no different than allowing people to copy music and send it to each other.

Please let me know which site this is so I can avoid it. Thank you Sue
