Pat, Don't forget that there are many preliminary trees on Ancestry... meaning, some are so basic that it appears that Ancestry's engines are creating them by tracking members searching online. Trees are a feature that attracts members and it is recommended that folks use them as clues, not facts, until proven and cross referenced. Barb -----Original Message----- From: Pat Connors via [email protected] I cannot thank all who have tried to help me enough. I use the Library Edition at my local Family History Center and it might just be that with the library edition you cannot contact the owners of the trees. I am at the point of not caring is this person is walking around thinking he/she knows all about their McEntees. They were ignorant to think there was a connection between their McEntee and my McEntee to begin with, so I am letting it go. As I have heard, 'ignorance is bliss'. I was just hoping against hope, there was some connection but checking out their Wyoming McEntees, I know they are not connected to my NY McEntees. Again, thanks to all for your help. I believe the replies have also helped others. This list is my favorite list, so many nice people and all so helpful. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA
