I have a Private tree on Ancestry.. it is discoverable, IF you were to get a Hint for someone on my tree then I'm contactable and more than willing to SHARE.. I am NOT willing just to have all and sundry copy it willy nilly.. add ridiculous records to it and hang it out Publicly for all and sundry to Copy it, Distort it! Because of all the IDIOTIC PUBLIC trees on Ancestry it is harder and harder, cloudier and cloudier to find the TRUTH! HELL CAN FREEZE OVER BEFORE I MAKE MY TREE PUBLIC FOR ALL THE IDIOTs OUT THERE to completely corrupt it .. and if you don't get it, then you don't get it! Yes, I do have 100's and 100's on my Tree, siblings of brides/grooms and what they did... simply because families spiral around each other. If you take a Seymour born 1757! She married and their daughter married a Hall in 1810! Following the Seymours (Why?) gets me another Seymour descendant marrying another of my line over 200 years later!! Doing it this way I can find 3rd cousins marrying each other! There are RIDICULOUS trees copied and copied Publicly on Ancestry so unbelievably distorted it's unreal. Not ONE of them are willing to even reply to me.... By totally pulling them apart and actually researching them I have them all straighten out all the way back to Domesday Book... and beyond!! Putting a Public Tree for all and sundry to distort is completely irresponsible!!!!! My Tree has connected people in NZ to people in S.Africa researching their kin because of the names Hints they got via my Private but findable tree on Ancestry.. I have connected a lot of people together researching people I have on my tree because of the Hints people got from my tree! Yes, when I'm stuck I put a Private tree on Ancestry using Guesstimates/Imagination ... IF I get Hints then I know WHAT things that need to be researched. Then after research and only then do I add them to, or ignore them, from my Tree. So... you may find my Tree with only 80 sources for maybe 800 people BUT I do know who the other 720 are, can give them sourced to anyone who connects to them, I only put sources in for my direct line but there is NOT one person on my tree that does not have source(s).. I have records filmed and even some Church records recorded on movie camera simply because I didn't have time to photo page after page.. IF you found a Hint for someone on my tree that is showing as unsourced I can guarantee you I can provide the source!! Why anyone will ridicule me for not putting it up as a Public Tree is beyond me, knowing all the irresponsible people out there... If someone connects then they are welcome to contact me... BUT AS I SAY HELL WILL FREEZE OVER BEFORE THEY JUST TAKE!!!! How dare anyone think they are ENTITLED to take my tree!!

Dave You are absolutely right. I have a private tree on Ancestry largely for a way of keeping it backed up. The rubbish that is in the public trees is unbelievable. If people using Find My Past & Ancestry for their trees ran data error reports on a regular basis they see how bad they were.
