  Kathleen, I have had similar experiences with ancestry.com and on top of
  that they are either non-responsive or arrogant. They also take you for
  granted.

  ....When I contacted Ancestry to ask where they had obtained the erroneous
  information, which I had copyrighted (the language was quite
  distinctive and could not have come from any other source), they
  refused to tell me. They also refused to add my copyright notice, or
  even to let me look at the information they were selling unless I paid
  them something like $50 for the CD.

  Needless to say, I refuse to have anything to do with Ancestry, which
  in my experience is dishonest, unreliable, and unscrupulous.

  Kathleen ....
