My complaint is 1) I never signed up with Mylife and 2) the info is wrong - age is off by 10 years and residence outdated by five years (in my case there are only two people in the U.S. that share my name). Mylife claims they have the right to post this info without my consent. Further, they ask me to join to take charge of the listing and ask me for money. This is outrageous and should be illegal.dudester415https://www.blogger.com/profile/03843494065883116778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-35775431087357703112009-03-23T18:08:00.000-07:002009-03-23T18:08:00.000-07:00Ol' Myrt's response is here:http://blog.dearmyrtle...Ol' Myrt's response is here:<BR/><BR/>http://blog.dearmyrtle.com/2009/03/trouble-is-brewing-here.html<BR/><BR/>Happy family tree climbing!<BR/>Myrt :)DearMYRTLEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15684472865240981715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-91919475496084209292009-03-21T22:50:00.000-07:002009-03-21T22:50:00.000-07:00I would hope that geneabloggers continue to come i...I would hope that geneabloggers continue to come in all types and styles. I look to some blogs for humor, some for news, some for ideas, and some for opinions. Too many canaries could spoil the mine.

If you that copy & paste a press release without following that up with your own review and impressions, then you are doing your readers a disservice.<BR/>The best known example of that in recent years is probably the Family Tree Maker 2008 press release, which several copy & paste bloggers posted without doing their own review or a even one critical footnote.<BR/><BR/>I have been registered with Reunion to find family members for years, and ignore all their mails except the ones about matches on the searches I registered with them. I never give any third party my email password. I am not eager to share my entire contact list just because they ask. Even if I was willing to import my contacts, they should still use the methods that exist for doing so without demanding my password.<BR/><BR/>- TamuraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-29615309257579582232009-03-20T23:12:00.000-07:002009-03-20T23:12:00.000-07:00I too wish Ancestry had kept the PRI.

This was several years ago, and I never heard of the negative aspects of it. But I got enough spam from the company that I just simply stayed away.<BR/><BR/>It's a shame that Ancestry has done away with their Public Records Index - I have used this in the past to find missing heirs for clients.Michael Haithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17838947327022663525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-71748506025255982492009-03-20T20:10:00.000-07:002009-03-20T20:10:00.000-07:00Posting a press release is not sufficient if you d...Posting a press release is not sufficient if you do not know of what you speak.
