Starting one from scratch has a message: \ \ Allow others to see my tree as a public member tree and allow my tree information to be compiled into OneWorldTree If you don't check the box, the information, in small pieces, will be shown (on a search) under the heading "private member trees" or something like that. From there, you can only send e-mails to the originator requesting further information. I think that's what Ann found and didn't get a response to. But it is not included in the OWT search engine. I got a query from someone the other day that said it was regarding an entry on a "personal tree" -- didn't say it was private or public -- problem is, the name isn't in any tree of mine. Go figure. I responded to the person making the query, but haven't gotten a response. That's one of the reasons I started the quest of new uploads and trying to figure this out. By the way -- "click to share" apparently means that you can e-mail to other researchers to notify them that the tree is "up." Has nothing to do with whether the tree is public or private. As a long time supporter of Ancestry, but at the same time a long time creator/maintainer of long-distance databases, I can say that it would be nice if they would have a big headline right after the Trees tab and explain all this to their loyal old-timers and those just getting started. Look how much work we are doing to figure this out.
