Re: printing tree from website

I'm with you, Helen. One of the main reasons for putting one's data up on the
web like that is to make connections. It's a two-way street and, given the
displayed interest, the OP fairly likely has information that could be shared
to some extent. Deliberately avoiding contact with the site owner while copying
the data is certainly not something to be admired.

Someone did a lot of work - good idea to recognise it and appreciate it.

If their email address is defunct you might do a google search on their

and find them under a new email.

I get really annoyed at people who use the info in my file without
telling
me. I have some errors in the LDS file that will get perpetuated because
I
cant fix them and I have some deliberate indicators in other files so
that I
know someone is using my info without telling me.

Depending, of course, on what "info" you mean. Names, dates, and such
can be freely used- actual facts belong to no one altho crediting via
sourcing is customary among the more ethical.
