Yes...Please stop the death entries being added!!! It's very annoying and of no help whatsoever. I have lots of surnames and he/she has posted on every one of these. For 3 weeks this has been bugging me and this person has no connection at all to the names he/she posts...it shouldn't be allowed. I have been trying to contact GR without success and I'm glad other people have started to notice this person now, hopefully GR will do something.

No, he says he is creating a database of gravestone inscriptions from Australia (I think it is Western Australia?) and if you find a match against one of your names you can ask him for the full inscription and possibly even a photo. Could be useful, but the GR tree system is not really the place for it, is it? For a start, he can only supply information to paid-up members of GR this way, but if he sets up his own website it would be open to all. For another thing, as has been said before, GR is supposed to be for contacting relatives, not for something like this. Kate.

I have had a look Anne. All I have got are the people who are related to me, already in my contacts & then the odd few with 1 or 2 names in their trees that don't match mine anyway !! Does that mean he hasn't got my rellies in his mitts yet ?? :0) Joan xxxx

Mind if I sign your petition Anne ?? I too am not amused! Surely this is not the right place . . . also, one of our own got a bit of a shock to find her brothers death listed on someone elses tree on GR - then to find out it was not really a tree - a bit sick! luv Laurie

which Death Entries do you mean? I have not noticed them! Deanna X

Joan... go into your TREE MATCHES... and you will probably see lots of death entries against every or almost every name you have on your list... there is a fella adding loads of death entries to his tree that are not even belonging to him... says he is doing us a favour... pain in the A*** more like!! Anne :)

Yes Anne he is a pain in the neck. Especially when you see you have a match on one of your more unusual names only to find it is him!!! Germaine x

Anne whats going on where are these death entries??? Luv JoJo xx

What's happening Anne ?? I've only just come on here this morning . :0) Joan xxxxxx

Is there no way you can stop this fool from adding hundreds of death entries from Australia every few days... he is making a mockery of family tree searches... they do not even belong to his family... I have sent a message to GR team privately and am sure that if we all inundate them with messages they will eventually stop this ridiculousthing from happening... there are sights I am sure where death entries can be added, so why put them on HIS tree and clog up OUR site with them???? Anne ( now getting really P***ed off)
