I finally had a reply from the tree owner demanding to know how I could see the names without his permission and accusing me of bypassing the system somehow !!! I don't know how I was able to see them but the fact is I could I wouldn't know how to bypass the system !! I did have a look at the tree and the names are now marked as private. Not sure who changed them or if it was a technical blipp. The connection was quite distant,4th cousins x times removed and then only through a stepfather ! I'm just pleased it is resolved though still smarting from rude accusation.

Many thanks for the replies.I have sent the tree owner 2 messages via Ancestry and am still waiting for a reply. I will give him a little more time and then contact Ancestry He's also got my husband and my brother and his wife on his tree.I hope I can convince Ancestry that we are all very much alive !!

Thank you for the replies, sorry to be so wearing !
If I have read it correctly Public trees are open to all Ancestry members. I have sent the tree owner a polite message and await a reply.

Should living relatives be listed as private on a public tree on Ancestry ? I have just returned to my tree research after a long break and found my name on someones tree. It may be someone I have had contact with in the dim and distant past (memorys not what it was ! ) but I certainly don't remember giving permission to be put on a tree. I will contact the tree owner to see what the connection is but would be interested in others views on this.

Belated thanks for that idea. I have looked through the Nottingham Evening Post pages for April 1944 which are on the Newspaper archives website but no luck. I don't really know what I was hoping to find, I suppose given the wars news one old man dying was not important.

Many thanks for the replies, I will wait and try the deceased online website again later.
I should have said it was Radford Nottingham.Poor old lad seems to have been on his own when he died,my husband knew nothing about him until I started his tree a few years ago.
