I just did a search in ancestry using my father's name. I found several
files, all using my research.  I have not sent anything to Ancestry and
don't know the people who posted it.

> Why not ask them to update or replace their file, or even remove it.  That
would get rid of all the people in their file that are unknown to them.  How
you do that depends on whether the file was submitted to rootsweb world
connect or to ancestry's database.  Both are combined for viewing, but are
dealt with separately.
