Perhaps a page with a table that lists members who have trees, where the trees
are located (Ancestry, etc.), and key surnames and locations is all that’s
needed? Then individual members could be contacted directly.
We could also list GEDmatch numbers.
And, yes, I can help create the table!

PS Ancestry trees can’t be changed by others unless they have permission to do
so by having been granted ownership.

Subject: [CoTyroneMailingList] Re: Family Trees
Gordon - first, it is easy to eliminate living people when creating a Gedcom
with most software so that is not an issue.
Bill - while it seems like a good idea, there are a few issues on my end which
would have to be overcome -
1) currently advertising revenues on the website have been dropping
dramatically! It appears many users are using "ad blockers" to avoid seeing
the advertisements. If this continues I'm not sure how we are going to cover
ongoing expenses
2) to load Gedcoms we need to purchase software
3) we need the time to manage said software as I have experience in this area
from a previous life......... it takes TIME
4) I would not wish to manage a "live" site where people can amend anything as
it soon becomes so polluted ......... like FamilySearch and Ancestry trees are

An interesting idea, Bill, but my data base has info on so many living
relatives and notes on many who value their privacy (DNA data, cupboard
skeletons, &c), so I've actually shut down my family web site and only give the
barest of information on the site now. Having said that, the most productive
info has come from distant relatives who have found and contacted me through
the the original website. Those inputs have been immeasurably valuable. I
pondered the thought of stripping details from 'living' names, and editing the
relevant pages, but the task got too big. I've got around 8,500 names covering
the ancestry of my grandchildren and still more names to enter (proffered by
one of those distant relatives.) when I get time.
The original website still exists, of course, as a local entity (8Gb) and
available only to select relatives.

I have seen a number of mails on family tree research recently.
Is there a move in this direction; and, if so, can we post family tree data to
the site? Provenance and accuracy are always going to be issues but it may be
worth hosting current versions of members’ GEDCOM files on the understanding
that they are the responsibility of the individuals who post them, not of
CoTyroneIreland.
Best regards
