World trees and personal member trees were submitted by users, why do I need to sign up for a free 14 day trial to view them? and what happens after 14 days - do I have to pay to view this info? seems to me if people submitted them, they should be free for us to view. does anyone have the answer to this thanks -- Nancy Spader Wilson Nancy- I'm not sure why this topic would be on-topic for this list (the only place you could get an official response to your question would be to ask Ancestry Customer Support) but remember that Ancestry public and private member trees are not the same as trees submitted to RootsWeb's WorldConnect or Ancestry's AWT. There are different terms the submitters are agreeing to and that can make a lot of difference. If you want your tree to be accessible to everyone--submit it to WorldConnect and search the trees at WorldConnect/AWT.
