The changes that the person made anyway were pure fantasia.

Who have you shared your tree with? If you haven't shared it with anyone then you need to contact Ancestry and ask how someone has been able to change it. It just isn't possible for any uninvited person to change anything in a tree, otherwise people could go in and change everyones just for the fun of it!

There should be an option for what you want them to see, such as Guest, where they don't any rights to alter the tree or contribute a photo, but just see the tree.   I could be wrong and things might have changed since I was invited to view a Private tree a few years ago.

Hi, I think (and absolutely no offence meant or intended) that you are missing what is being said to you  :)

Absolutely no one can change what you have put on your tree, you need to contact Ancestry if this is what has happened.

Best regards always

I agree Frank. You need to contact Ancestry, William.

Someone somehow must have your account log-in details or you have given someone editing rights.

If it's the former it won't make any difference whether your tree is public or private as they can still use your log-in to make changes.

That's why William needs to check with Ancestry if he is certain that he hasn't given anyone editor rights. Might be a good idea in the meantime to change your password.

Ancestry SHOULD be able to discover who has access to your tree, from their data logging system. Any good data log should be able to state who worked on your tree, at what time and date, and with what authority.

I have previously given a few people editing rights as I thought this would merely give them access to living persons data.I didn't expect any of them to make changes without telling me.
