Rebecca If people want to see your tree on Ancestry they will have to set up an Ancestry account. They can set up a free account without having to subscribe to Ancestry. Another possibility you might like to consider is MyHeritage: http://www.myheritage.com You can export the Gedcom from Ancestry and upload it to MyHeritage. The free accounts do however limit you to 250 people in your tree. www.Geni.com also have a nice tree-building service, but you need to make sure you upload a Gedcom when you create the account. Also if you expand your tree there you can't download the Gedcom unless you have a paid Pro account. Debbie Kennett

One thing to consider... Which of these databases allows you to delete your account, your data, and your GEDCOM? Both Ysearch and mitoSearch allow you to delete your entries. FTDNA allows you to delete your GEDCOM and drop out of projects, which would stop any public display of either. I suppose you could rescind your Release to share results, though I've never tried it. I entered my mtDNA and my father's Y-DNA into Ancestry, so I could join projects there, and now I find I can't delete them.
