I agree, David. I would not allow others to edit my Family File. A family member started an Ancestry tree to give grandmother something to do - and other family members were adding to it. The data entry was terribly inconsistent, not to mention unproven information. I cleaned it up to at least make it consistent!
Use IntelliShare to have family members work with you on the database. That way, you can review what they've done before you import it into your file and do the IntelliShare merge.
