[or-roots] BEWARE: Carol Ann Hansen / Steals Family Infor. / no permission

[Gary Murray]

Messagedon't be surprised if the whole thing ends up on one of the gene. websites.it happened to me some years back.  i did not have a clue what i was doing.  some lady who is a distant cousin on the bonney side wanted a lot of data from me and i firmly believe in sharing with anyone that wants it.  i sent her my entiredatabase and she lost no time in getting it on one of those god-awful gene. sites.  i would have no objection to this except she even posted the living people without so much as a "by your leave'".  I HAD SENT IT TO HER SO THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO.  LIVE AND LEARN.

          I need your help, PLEASE!

          This Carol Ann Hansen.. Stole my Family Information, word for word with even my name / E-mail address & all from my postings

                This doesn't look like stealing to me, if she simply copied, including your contact information, what you had posted. Now, if she had written it as though she had done the research, that might be another thing.

                Why don't you give us her URL, so we can see what you are talking about. I went to the only web site I could find with her name ( http://www.gbnf.com/GENEALOG4/hansen/home.htm ) and didn't find your name anywhere - nor the supposition about McCubbins.  So, perhaps she has more sites?

                Have you spoken with her? What does she say?

                Bottom line here, I suspect, is that we all post information, propositions, suppositions, and out-and-out guesses, on the internet. People take what we post and use it for their own purposes. I suppose most of us do the same. 

                Give us more information, and we will see what we can do.
