Hi I have my tree on Ancestry, Genes and Tribal Pages with over 4000 names in it, but not one source.
They have been created this way for three reasons. Firstly, when you send a gedcom, there is only one certainty, and that is that some of the sources will be missing, so I would rather have none. The second, is that everyone on my tree has been very, thoroughly researched by me, and wouldn't be on it, if they hadn't. My working database is absolutely jam packed with information, photo's, copies of certificates etc and if anyone takes the time to contact me they will receive all the help I can give, including all my sources. Thirdly, I have been given a lot of help from a lot of people and everyone's contribution is wonderful and has been recognised on my database but that is between them and me and so I feel that it should stay that way.

I really don't care if people want to "pirate" any data I put on line. I don't guarantee that all my data is 100% accurate so if they think it is that's their problem. If they want to deprive themselves of all the fun of doing their own research, that's their problem. On the other hand, if a previously unknown/unfound relative of mine is able to make contact with me because of my online tree, so much the better. Of course, it's always much *nicer* if someone asks if they might use your data and I always try and ask permission of anyone whose online data I might want to use. It's only polite. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
