The Registry is essentially an annotated bibliography of family trees, not an actual collection of family trees, so it includes basic descriptive information about trees and links to where they can be found (e.g., Ancestry, a published book, a repository, a private contact). -Logan X-Message: #1 Date: Sun, 20 Aug 2006 20:26:08 -0500 From: "marilyn e brown" Subject: Re: [ROOTS-L] Uploading trees to Ancestry (was: Re:Family trees) Well even if you keep it private they must be letting out enough for other researchers to find your information. I just got an email from Ancestry that someone was seeking to view my information concerning one ancestor. I would like to figure out how to contact this person without revealing too much about myself. Most of the information I have is on line if you know where to look. Although the individual being asked about I do have collateral information and he is tied into my family on at least two different lines. So now I have to decide if I am ready to share.
