Ancestry has a very archaic policy in regard to family trees to me in that Anyone still living is considered private I can track a person born before 1940 and find out who she/he married and who the kids are. I can also find out from obituaries and other means who the siblings are I can trace people thru public records, marriage records, etc etc but they can not go on a family tree.. Ancestry should move into the 21st century. Their concept has nothing to do with privacy as to any things are on wen. There is absolutely no reason to me to pit a tree on ancestry if you can not make it complete as possible. A person is better of using a gene software program and that will ne complete

I personally do not want ancestry to publish info from my trees on the living, without my permission. Some family consider it invasive for me to publish their info on my tree, despite all that you say about that info being available. I would however, like the availability to make that choice, to indicate, yes or no, to publish for Aunt May but not to for Uncle Bob.
