IF I understand the concept, I see it as problematic." I don't believe others will be able to change someone else's data. From what I read, this new feature of the personal tree, will eventually replace the "People I am looking for" feature. I stopped using that feature a long time ago because I am looking for too many people. But you can attach links to records, say a census image. These private trees are indicated when you do a name search. It is still new so there aren't many yet. I do wish there was a little more information to identify an individual. I was searching to see if there was anything new on a John Hudnall. The personal tree only identify his name and birth info. If I were looking for someone with a very common name and wasn't sure of the birth information, I wouldn't know if this was the person I am looking for or not. I'm not sure that I will use it. I save census and other records to my computer. Dian
