The answer is: that no matter where you put your family tree they wind up on three different places. A person can at anytime go to rootsweb and extrapolate all or a portion of a tree one has submitted and if he/ she is so inclined can incorporate this date into his/.her family tree. One must read the fine print before submission of data. And because this happens that is why roots web has some 544 million names on family tree's. It is called extract from another and incorporate the data into mine to raise my bean count... World Connect Family Tree; This database is online at Ancestry.com, Rootsweb.com and Genealogy.com free for all to use. Perhaps I don't understand how uploading your tree to Ancestry works. I have seen another person's tree (which in part is part of mine) added to in error either by someone else or by Ancestry. I am not going to allow my hard work to be corrupted. Perhaps someone can explain this all to me. ************** Psssst...Have you heard the news? There's a new fashion blog, plus the latest fall trends and hair styles at StyleList.com.

Hi List, Then how do explain that I never ever put my family tree on ANY website, ever. So how does one explain the fact that there are parts of my family tree on Ancestry, that include facts that no one else has but me? As an example, I went to a family member listed under One World Tree and it says this " The information listed below has been submitted by the Ancestry community." That's my first question....what exactly does that mean?? Does anyone know? Further, on that page I click on "user submitted trees" and then click on my ancestors name from there and I get the info, but under Entries: nothing, Updated: nothing and under Contact: UNKNOWN. Usually, under normal submitted trees by REAL people, there is information listed under each category, including contact info. I do use Ancestry's genealogy software, so I feel like somehow they are getting my information. Call me crazy, but I agree with others that something might not possibly be above board here. I pay a great deal with my measly salary to have full access to ancestry's data. I repeat, I pay for that access. I don't need to find they are taking info from my use of their software or my message board postings or searches what have you....and putting things online I've not placed there. I hope I am wrong, but I do think they have their ways. I am a very private person...I'm selective about my information and I don't like being used. I hope that is not the case, but I do find it suspect. Luana Bbokken@aol.com wrote: > The answer is: that no matter where you put your family tree they > wind up on three different places.
