I would contact them if you haven't received it yet. I had to contact them when I wanted to change my email address that I registered with and they were very prompt and helpful. With regards to the email address that you leave - I have a separate one for message boards and such so that if there was a problem I can simply either change my email account or block the sender from sending me any more email and report them in the process. Blocking senders with mine is very easy. Louise

Firstly the email addresses don't seem to be on full view? The ones I have seen have the @ in much large script, suggesting that they've been set up so they can't be trawled by spam engines. Most of the names I've checked out don't seem to have anemail address at all. It is a good idea to set up an amil address with hotmail or similar to use on public sites like this. Then that account can be spammed out and your main email won't care. With btopenworld you have the facility to set up aliases. These are just alternative names for your main email address. I use these extensively. If one gets too much spam, I delete it and set up another, changing the email on the relevant websites! Secondly, I can't see how you can contact anyone from Ancestral Villages apart from by Royal Mail (a postal address in Norfolk). If anyone knows otherwise, please let me know as I have 2 villages that need adding! Lx

If you click on an ancestors name there should be more details showing up along with the space for an email address. I have added one to all mine but if they don't have an email address I guess it's because people are wary. However, if you don't add an address there is NO way people can can contact you. When you go into the page for one of the villages you have at the top of page a grey tab with 'contact us' on. This takes you to a page which gives their email address and phone number. I have just looked myself and it is definitely there. But not on your home page for some reason. Louise

If you are worried about leaving your personal E-mail details, set up an account with Yahoo or some such, then strangers can still get in touch, but hopefully you will still have peace of mind, and no junk mail or crazy people using your proper E-mail address. Hope that makes sense. PS I also found the site a while ago but haven't been back since. Will go now!!
