If you do not want anyone - "pinching" your info and photos without permission use the privacy settings in Ancestry tick the private box but also make sure that you also tick the "also prevent your tree from being found in searches" and it will be completely private. Ancestry will still give you hints. You then can invite who you want to view - should give you more control. Cheers from a lovely sunny day in Fife - still snow but blue sky!
