If we as a group decides not to collaborate/contribute, I would like
to be in contact with this person.

We have been approached by a researcher tasked with updating a book
about the Portuguese settlers in Mendocino County, California, who
are all primarily from the Azores. We have determined that she is
legitimate and has been tasked by the local historical society which
owns the rights to the original book. We support the project very
much, and do plan to help, as the original book contains quite a few
errors and omissions and has been out of print for years.
However, the researcher intends to create a Public Ancestry Tree for
each of the families to aid in collaboration with the descendents of
the families. We are not really keen on seeing our years of
research placed on Ancestry, as we've all experienced issues with
how information can be mis-used, exploited, etc. from Ancestry.
At a minimum we would not allow her to use data about living people
on the internet.
We'd like to know what members of the group think about this. Has
anything similar happened to you? Is your work on Ancestry?
What pros and cons can you think of? I haven't discussed this with
the researcher yet, wanting to hear your thoughts first.
Thanks very much for anything you can offer - Marcia Andre
