Although RootsMagic is my primary database, I like some features in AQ & Legacy and will use them for those features.Marie Andersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15298973970284654937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-43292981425581237842014-12-01T22:02:12.867-07:002014-12-01T22:02:12.867-07:00Take the Ancestry.com example.

I confronted her once by email, she replied with a nasty sentence. She deleted her email and left the errors in the tree.

The people changing your documented tree will not change anything. They likely aren't even checking familysearch, just doing hit and runs on any tree they can.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13256855136448978468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-49876165798186980672014-12-01T09:52:56.826-07:002014-12-01T09:52:56.826-07:00I asked FamilySearch Support to contact someone fo...I asked FamilySearch Support to contact someone for me to see if they would allow emails. The person they contacted declined to participate. And all I wanted to ask was whether they had a source I could view.
