What I like is that I have control over merging information that is not exactly the same. I can collaborate with others who have posted information that seems to match mine. If we agree on the changes necessary to make it match, we can merge it. If we disagree, the data remains as two separate items. Many more features, but rather than try to list them, I suggest the information on the site will be much more informative for you. Regards, Joe
Yours maybe the tree I have seen online. I personally feel if it goes online it may as well be shared with anyone you might be introduced to. I would much rather know where my ancestral tree is going because it seems to me to be quite mad tracing family and finding someone who turns out to be a blood relative not to know anything more about them and not to keep in touch with the living.
