Later this month Ancestry plans to begin charging researchers to view your trees. If you don't want that, you'll have to remove your tree. Go to: http://www.ancestry.com/search/rectype/trees/owt/ Click on "What's a Preview" Scroll down to #3: Have you already submitted a family tree? Click on "view our checklist" A few lines down you will see: "If for any reason you do not want your tree to be part of the new OneWorldTree service, you must delete it from the Ancestry World Tree database by tentatively May 21, 2004." There are instructions for removing your tree: http://ancestry.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/ancestry.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php ?p_faqid=1090 Thanks to Gloria Holback of GAGenWeb for posting the note that brought this to my attention.

Beyond the outstanding "backup" it has the huge advantage of attracting email from other researchers your line. Hardly a week goes by that I don't hear from someone new with new info we share on one or another family line. Sure, I learn later that some just "take" without emailing, but we all benefit in the long run by making genealogy info public. I do mine a little "backward" - awt is my dynamic workspace. Every so often I download what I have at that point to my hard disk. Or, I could put it to a disk and send to a relative or someone - but since it may change from moment to moment as I add new data, those are only good at/for the moment I download.
