Paula, Putting something out on the web *is* publishing, it is likely to be read by more people than those who would read a book on the same subject as the website, and you are displaying to the world at large how competent, or otherwise, you are.
Which is why those of us who do publish on the web take extreme care over the presentation of the site as a whole and, in particular, the accuracy of the information which we present.

Ah! Not really "publishing" but putting out on the internet. Gotcha. --Paula From: Eliz Hanebury <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Fri, April 20, 2012 6:28:28 PM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] What to do with the "I think" and "maybe" individuals? I like that I can find my "maybes" and my "I think". Anyone checking my tree knows immediately that I don't have a world of confidence in that <G> but it also brings me corrections and tidbits of advice from people I suspect wouldn't write otherwise. I have ended up having what approaches a town genealogy in my family tree. I am working heavily from the Bishops Transcripts - which lead to a lot of 'Maybe' at the best of times. From 1770 on I have a good chance of finding the family in the census and other records which lets me remove some of the maybes. My other big reason for them is when I find a marriage online at familysearch it doesn't always indicate if the woman was married before, so a "maybe".
