Matt Roller has stolen my files from THE OLIVE TREE GENEALOGY and put
them without my permission on his page. Many of these files include
MY PERSONAL RESEARCH NOTES. I am appalled that he can do this without
permission and without credit.

While the data on my ships' passenger lists (which he has taken) are
public domain, my personal research notes are not.

I put a note on his GuestPage about his theft and was pleased to see
others have done the same. What, if anything can be done about this?
