My tree has also been posted elsewhere. I know it is mine but the problem is, they have some of the wrong info because I had a mistake in my family tree. Now, someone else has it and I sure don't know how to correct it. I guess it is their problem because I have MY right info and someone else does not. Maybe it makes it bad for someo0n who might connect me but I have very seldom received a message from anyone who gives me info except maybe a couple of people. Pat Krek being one of them and a couple others who gave me info for my Costello and Work line. Harriet

Let me throw in my two cents. The family tree information on ancestry.com was helpful when I started my Perrin family research because I had no idea what was known about the family, and it gave me a start. That said, I spent the next two years trying to either prove of disprove what was there. On the one hand, the information on the One World Tree regarding Thomas Perrin (?1763 - 1847) and his eleven children has proven to be ninety percent plus accurate when I can find corroboration, down to some very specific information (like his son's (James K.) birthdate, which I was able to confirm on his gravestone in Brownsville). As this information, so far as I can tell, does not exist anywhere else, I am extremely grateful that someone, somewhere, posted it. On the other hand, the information repeatedly cited concerning his father John Perrin (Jr.) , his three wives and twenty-two children have some serious errors. But these errors come from the original citations from J.H.P. Adams and his daughter in the early twentieth century, not the internet itself. So the internet just allows us all to accumulate both the good and the bad. And all the writers to this message board who state you have to confirm your data, no matter where it comes from, are correct. But I don't think we should restrict the availability of our own research results. When using other people's information I believe we should simply state where it comes from. Like any research we should provide the source citations for our data, and when making speculations we should state them as such. So I have posted everything I know (ADVERTISEMENT HERE) at http://web.me.com/rpday and convinced Google to index it so others can find it. Yes, I pay for the site (through this Email account) and I had to learn html and css to write it, but that means I can control what I have to say. If ancestry.com wants to steal it, either directly, or indirectly when others use my data, that is OK. Because those who want the truth will not take my word for it, and they will use the references I provide to come to their own conclusions.

possibly the solution to posting our trees is to use websites where we are the webmaster and if someone is interested, we send them a password for READING data only. (I plan to check out tribalpages website, which is free for a minimal memory, but worth checking out, or so I think.) Ruth

Pat, do you know which Miller, Barbara Gnagey was married to?

Hello, I'm searching for the maiden name of the first wife of William Alec or Alex McMurdo. I believe she might have been a Meagher from Salisbury, PA, but am not sure. The following are the obits for William and his second wife: Kitzmiller, Md, Dec. 17 - William Alex McMurdo, 73, died Monday at his home at Emoryville, W. Va., of a heart attack. Burial was in Hartmonsville Cemetery this afternoon. He is survived by his widow, Pearl Junkins McMurdo and five children by a former marriage, Mrs. Josephine Folk, Westernport; John McMurdo and Mrs. Robert Yenhart, Akron, Ohio; Harry McMurdo, Washington; and Mrs. Ellis Weise, Westernport. Three stepchildren: Melvin and Lawrence Simmons, Emoryville; Miss Bernice Simmons, Cleveland, Ohio, and two half-brothers, Thomas Robertson, Meyersdale, and James Robertson, Lonaconing, and eight grandchildren. The Cumberland Evening Times, December 17, 1941 EMORYVILLE - Mrs. Pearl Simmons McMurdo, 71, died last night at her home here following an illness of three years. Born at Oakland, Md., a daughter of the late David V. and Nancy (Clark) Junkins, she had resided here 60 years. Twice married, she was preceded in death by both husbands, Oscar Simmons and William McMurdo. Surviving are a daughter, Miss Bernice Simmons, Cleveland; two sons, Lawrence Simmons, Emoryville, and Melvin Simmons, Elk Garden; a stepson, Harry McMurdo, Akron; two stepdaughters, Mrs. Hilda Yenhart and Mrs. Jean Kyle, both of Akron, and six grandchildren. The body is at the home of her son, Lawrence Simmons. Services will be conducted Friday at 2:30 p. m. at Emeryville Methodist Church by Rev. William Withers and interment will be in Hartmansville Cemetery. The Cumberland Evening Times, March 21, 1956 For some reason, I cannot locate any of the children from the first marriage. I do have an obit for Lawrence Folk, who also died in 1941, married to Josephine, but I cannot find her. I am assuming, but am not sure, that Josephine died before 1956 and that Mrs. Ellis Weise (mentioned in the first obit) remarried a Mr. Kyle from Ohio. I cannot find Ellis Weise, either, although I did find his parents and brother near Grantsville. Any help would truly be appreciated. Sheryl Kelso

Hi all, I have enjoyed all your thoughts on sharing your ancestry I do not send my work to anyone like Ancestry etc. to be sold I believe it should be shared freely with friends and any one who asks for it.If I can share or help anyone with a mutual ancestry I certainly will I may be wrong but I can't see working very hard to find an ancestor just to have some one screw it all up. Happy hunting to all, Virginia

Rootsweb thru their world connect file has free family tree information. Ancestry the pay site has the world tree files and most are the same as rootsweb's worldconnect, which can be corrected at the owner's discretion. Before Ancestry moved the World Tree files to their pay site they made an announcement that the owner had a chance to take the file off, before a certain date, otherwise it would be the property of Ancestry. Those that did not remove the files they did not want Ancestry to have, now do not own them. I think world connect has more accurate family trees. World Tree at Ancestry are the ones that are all screwed up. Some of them have parents born later than the children.

I will say this. Our file on world connect and ancestry is researched and maintained by a very good researcher. She posts the verification along with the person's individual listings. If she has info that has come to her and is not verified she make sure it is posted that she can not verify it. She also posts that if anyone has info on her site that is incomplete etc please let her know and she will correct and add. To me that is the type of files that should be allowed. Those verified and the person willing to make corrections for you....

I've never posted on Ancestry.? As I understood it a long time ago, you give it to them for free and then they charge others for it.?

I agree with Chere, here. First of all, none of us "owns" the information we glean from public records which is where 99% of our information comes from and that is exactly what the information is that we are compiling about our ancestors with the exception of the personal stories that are not in the public domain! I will never understand the possessiveness some people have regarding information they have found in public records! I have subscriptions to Ancestry, Gen.com and several other sites. What I am paying for (with any membership) are all of the local, state and federal records plus the myriad of out of print books and all of the records from foreign countries that they are making available digitally. Those are gold mines! I have never felt that I was paying for any "tree" that someone posted and most of the time when I am working online, I don't even look at that section of information ~ I know it can be loaded with errors. If I've really hit a slump and can't find anything in the records I'm searching for my ancestor, I will take a look at the family trees that are posted for a HINT of where I might go next ~ a name, a location, a possible date, anything to get me going again. Whole new avenues of research can open up in that way. That is the only way that section of information should be used and anyone who is doing serious work be it as a hobby or professionally would know that! But we all know someone who is just about the names and the documentation doesn't matter. None of us will ever change that sort of person no matter how much we try to explain why we do our research a different way. I have never publically posted any of my data but I am more than willing to share it with anyone who would ask me for it ~ with the caveat that certain sections will be noted as "NOT PROVEN YET ~ NO DOCUMENTATION". I don't believe any of us should be about hording the information we find. If you put something online and now it is the domain of Ancestry.com, so be it ~ where & what is the harm (info regarding living persons should never be posted). If someone contacts you through some previously posted info, you just might find a new relative and new information to work with and at the same time you can offer your newer corrected version of information. We do live in the 21st century and the digital age is here ~ once you put something out there, anywhere, you no longer "own" it.

Possibly one reason new people working on their family history use others trees as their "documentation" is that they assume the other person has verified the data and they don't need to; or are lazy; or just don't know to verify everything. (note that I didn't say new researchers, because not all people doing their family history are RESEARCHERS. Just "gatherers" of names.)
