So very sorry, I am just seeing this Bill. I tried a search for Jezebel 
Boswell, born 1869 Maryland, and returned zero good matches! I tried your link 
and it did connect, but see the attached file for what it told me.

Do a search for Jezebel Boswell who was born around 1869 in Maryland.  She is 
not attached to anyone.  The name of my tree is “Boswell Full 2016” in case you 
find any other trees that have Jezebel Boswell.

 

Here’s a link, but I don’t know if it will work:

William Boswell, I don’t mind testing, as I am a member. Just email me and tell 
me who to search for to find your tree.

I couldn’t get it to work without first signing in.  Somebody who doesn’t have 
an account would be a better candidate, but I think you are required to create 
an account first.  Since I don’t keep an ongoing membership with Ancestry I 
could try it out after I get rid of my current membership.

When I called ancestry, It was only for the question of public trees. I was 
told that everyone can view your public tree and do not have to have a 
membership... Maybe someone should test it...

It was my understanding that a public tree reveals everything.  I could be 
wrong about that since I cannot verify it since Ancestry requires a membership 
to view public or private trees.  My relatives complain about that all the time 
because they cannot see my public tree and only have a casual interest in 
genealogy.

 

I would never give Editor privileges to anyone unless I know them very well.  I 
always give Guest to unknowns and Contributor if I personally know them or have 
been trading with them for years otherwise Editor gives free reign for someone 
to destroy my tree especially if they don’t know what they’re doing or decide 
they’re an expert on my own family (I’ve had a few of those lately).

 

Your mention of invitees reminds me of a situation a distant cousin had.  She 
allowed someone to have access to her private tree not knowing this guest 
invitee was stealing her information and photos then reposting them to a public 
tree under her own name.  This distant cousin had given me the exact same 
photos and information which I never shared with anybody else or online so I 
couldn’t figure out why it was reposted under another person’s name.

 

That’s something to think about when somebody asks for an invite to your tree.  
If you don’t make your information public then somebody else might do it for 
you.
