How to contact a certain website?
« on: Wednesday 08 July 15 16:35 BST (UK) »
A couple of days ago, I fell upon a website entitled something like "Research of Margaret E Macculloch and David J Hall" - and was intrigued to find quite a lot of my family there, including some errors.
 As a matter of courtesy I thought "Oh, I'll just get in contact and correct that - because I know who the other person they've confused him with is, and if people follow that they will go in the wrong direction..." - but search as I will, I can't seem to find any way to contact them.
Their last updates seem to be last year - and oddly, as far as it concerns my lot, most of it otherwise is fairly correct, I noted, unlike several online trees.
       Has anyone any idea who I may be able to contact them?

At the bottom of the page are the names 'Margaret & David Hall'.
Click on that and an email to them will open  :D

I think this is one of their pages? http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~macculloch/master_index.htm

The contact email link at the bottom right doesn't work on all browsers but the code behind it gives some clues as to their email address. Will send you a PM rather than publish it here.

Thanks, I think I'd tried a contact yesterday that didn't contact. I'd appreciate the message.

I click on the link at the bottom of the page I mentioned in reply #1 and an email to them opens immediately.

It wouldn't open for me in Chrome. I had a little bit more success with IE when it prompted me to open the "mailto" link in either Chrome or Sea Monkey. I must have a file association glitch I think ( my email client is Outlook ).
