I would second (or is that third) what Paul and Dan have said. Make sure that you explain that the tree is your best effort from the research that you have so far done, but that it may well be incorrect or incomplete (the latter is normally the norm!) and ask people to send you their corrections and updates - and you'll be surprised how many do! I put this disclaimer on all my trees: Whilst every care is taken the information contained in this tree is subject to further revision. Along with my email address and copyright notice. And they very often are revised, even now, often because of the information which is supplied by the descendants of females, but which is almost impossible to discover working from your ONS. But then of course how are you going to publish your trees? On my website mine are images of dropline trees drawn up in Excel, which makes them impossible to search online for individuals, except by sight. Also the information contained is minimal, and all from the public domain. However most people seem to readily understand the dropline format and write to me really excited when they find themselves on one of them! The most trouble I have is with "married out" females who get upset when I explain I cannot add their children to the tree! If you want to see an example, my own tree is here: www.rowberry.org/r5rpol.html Go for it! Polly
