I don't know that your information is any safer on Ancestry.com. Other people may not be able to edit your actual tree, but they can surely very quickly and easily merge chunks from your tree into places they doesn't belong in their own tree. My tree on Ancestry.com was also public until I got tired of trying to get several people (without success) to correct some very glaring errors they created by doing just that. An example: My 4x GGrandfather and family along with some photos I took in England are now grafted into someone's tree where the only similarities were a common name and approximate time frame. The descendants certainly didn't match up! I see that other people with no way to know any better have now in turn grafted bits from that tree into their own. Right or wrong, information in Ancestry.com trees multiplies at an alarming rate! That also leads new researchers astray and there isn't much you can do about it. My tree is now private so they have to contact me before they can "borrow"!S Groverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17755125979934779158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-67285586312868477302013-04-18T12:44:57.219-06:002013-04-18T12:44:57.219-06:00I spent most of today on FamilySearch using the hi...I spent most of today on FamilySearch using the historical records, and I found it a bit removed from the main page, as Dear Myrt said least night in her FamilySearh gathering on YouTube.<br /><br />It appears to be a bit confusing<br /><br />Elizabeth<br />www.genealogycanada.blogspot.com<br /><br />Elizabeth Lapointehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01094136762130650133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-90699223792909566112013-04-16T12:32:02.513-06:002013-04-16T12:32:02.513-06:00Thanks for the updates on the FamilySearch website...Thanks for the updates on the FamilySearch website ...have been adding names for a couple weeks now and just finished uploading five pictures and attached two of them to my great-great-grandparents. Looks like there changes being made as screens seem to be changing from one minute to the next. I have been an indexing arbitrator for several years now, but am not a member of the LDS Church. Am looking forward to seeing other changes as they are made available.Genealogy TidBitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06099846158285439754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-65377929584195107422013-04-16T10:09:28.560-06:002013-04-16T10:09:28.560-06:00Just checked, and the new updates to familysearch....Just checked, and the new updates to familysearch.org are up!Ileen Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966410573505455849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-89127969523493855302013-04-16T08:35:28.361-06:002013-04-16T08:35:28.361-06:00Going the way of ancestry.com and all the others w...Going the way of ancestry.com and all the others who charge for information? I see it coming. I won't be putting my tree on there for others to edit. There are enough wrong trees out there already that lead new researchers down the wrong path. As much trouble as I had sorting through wrong spouses, wrong children, children as spouses, etc. I will let my tree be public at ancestry.com but never put it out in cyberspace to be edited by strangers.
