Speaking of putting things on Ancestry.com, I was wondering what
people's thoughts are. I personally don't want my info accessible to
everyone in the world...at any point in the future. I just want it
available to authentic relatives. There are ways to get the word out
and then word offline with people. That's what I've done so far.
However, I would like to her other opinions. I was just elected
Family Historian for my mother-in-law's side of the family so I know
that within the next year a family policy or something will come up
among those I will be working with. My predecessor didn't have a
cooperative working relationship in the way that I want to. Your
thoughts are much appreciated.
Thanks!

My question is once you put your data on ancestry, do you do your
research there or do you continue with Legacy? I'm more
comfortable with Legacy but it means when I find something, I have
to enter it in Legacy and again in ancestry. How do other do this?
Well for a start I "do my research" all over the place using
Ancestry, numerous other websites and all sorts places and people
and use Legacy to record my findings! I will always do that.
It's been a while since I uploaded anything to Ancestry (1), but I
will get around to uploading more regularly one day. What I *won't*
do is upload everything in my file (definitely not pictures and
probably not Events, definitely not Research Notes) and nor will I
change anything from within Ancestry. Basically, I will have a
"tree" on Ancestry and from time to time I will exchange it for a
newer one as I have added a few more names.
(1) For "Ancestry" you could substitute "Genes Reunited" or any
other similar site.
