Why is it so difficult to find contact information to fix an incorrect genealogy? My son pulled up PhpGedView when he googled his name and step family information was shown. I tried to contact Greg Falck the administrator to provide documentation for the correct entry, but never received a reply. I have birth certificates listing Jonathan and Tamara Orner as Kyle Ector Orner and Justin Allen Orner's parents. On the site it lists their names as Kyle Everette Hull and Justin Allen Hull. The rest of the entries for our children are correct. I would like this information changed. I tried to contact someone at PhpGedView, but could not find contact information for them either. What can I do to correct this problem so it does not confuse my children when it is brought up?

Did you really mean to ask this question? Anyone can post anything on the web, and take little to no responsibility for doing so. Unfortunately, you may very well have an instance of this with this site admin - OR, he could have switched email addresses and have forgotten to change contact information - OR, he could be on holiday or taking care of his sick mother/wife/brother. Who knows.
This sourceforge site, nor any of the developers of PGV have any control, whatsoever, over who uses the software, nor is there a central database of contact information as the program is freely distributed, without need to register. As a responsible admin, I make sure my data is as accurate as possible, welcoming contributions such as yours, as most who operate a PGV site do. But we can't help you contact this admin. Heck, you haven't even provided the URL for the site so we could view it ourselves.
Unfortunately, you'll receive no help here, and if an admin isn't responding to emails, its unlikely they even look at this forum.

BTW, did you send an email notice to Greg thru PGV, or did you visit his main site page:
http://www.falckfamily.com/
And post a notice there for him to contact you? This might be a better spot. It seems he's updated the GEDCOM as recently as Mar 2010, so he's about - somewhere. The data and postings are not that old.
And if someone is publishing details about living people without any sort of login process, well, that tells you something about him right there.
