    3. I know......i just did a free trial so I can look at some info. I need to print out what I have saved, but don't have any ink right now. I guess I'll just have to suck it up, make a list of everything that I've saved & then go down to the local LDS FHC & print it all out there. Need to order some microfilm anyway. Oh I have seen grandkids & in laws listed as kids. One lady got mad at me because I pointed out all of the errors on her tree & she said if I wanted to blame someone to go to so & so's tree that's where she got the info. So I told asked her if they had directions of how to jump off a short pier would she go blindly along with that too or verify the accuracy before including it in info as facts. I pointed out to the others the same thing. Its hard enough finding my Adams family (I'm glad its not Addams, though it'd explain much LOL) w/o people claiming every James Adams as a relative w/o proof. One tree had 2 or 3 James Riley's in the same family, I've only found a James Riley & James Russel, but the others all had them married to the same Elizabeth Annie...its annoying. All I can do is go through all the info to link or unlink the names & figure out who goes where when. Yeah I'm not impressed with find a grave being owned by Ancestry either, another thing we have to pay for, but I thought Fold3 was a separate deal. I was thinking about subscribing to that until I made the discovery last night (don't ask me why I never paid any attention to the details till last night, cause I don't know LOL) :o( Alli -----Original Message----- From: cherokeegene-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:cherokeegene-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Dan M via Sent: Monday, January 12, 2015 8:56 AM To: cherokeegene@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [CherokeeGene] ancestry That's why I keep my ancestry tree private so people cant copy yet. I found I had a great grand listed as a dau - it came that way because I used the add to my tree link. I use FTM private on my PC only now, when I am done, my family will get a print out - even if they don't want it. Find a grave is also a part of Ancestry - and when you search it goes to the Archive search and you have to be a paid member there - now too. Getting time to finalize what I have so far and get out of dodge - costs too much. I dropped my ancestry as of the 28th this month - so I cant do look ups any more for people. Ya, people make an error in a tree and rather than validate the problem, they just claim the error. That's a problem with an interactive system - its screwing up history - ancestry is a fault. They play on free info and charge you to look at it.

    3. Are you sure you have to pay for Find A Grave/ They haven't charged me for it. I will check into that....Alli if you need information off Ancestry let me know. I am always here to help my friends. Kathleen On Monday, January 12, 2015 10:34 AM, wrote: I know......i just did a free trial so I can look at some info.
