Suzanne It took some time to find your tree on ancestry - there are lots of similarly named trees. On one part of the page it tells me that you have three trees - the two you listed and another; it also says that you have been a member since 2012 and have not logged in for nine months. Elsewhere it says that you logged in two days ago... When you post your tree to ancestry, as a public tree, it can be viewed by anyone logged into ancestry. If you want your tree to be available to someone that is not an ancestry member, may I suggestthe Rootsweb World Connect project. Using ancestry as a resource is good because of the amount of data that they have but personally I don't like their search engine. Family Search is good and is free, and you might try Scotlands People.
