They show up on "One World Tree" (locked), and "Ancestry World Tree" (free). Too bad it's the SAME INDIVIDUAL I submitted, on BOTH the free and the locked trees. Newbies would be excited to see their relative on the locked "One World Tree" and pay for access via the US Deluxe Membership, which costs $155.40 a year. --- In response to Dee and Susan-- Ancestry does not and has never sold or charged subscription fees to access data that is freely uploaded and submitted by volunteer submitters. Ancestry World Tree on the Ancestry side and RootsWeb's WorldConnect database were combined quite some time ago so that they could be browsed and searched as one combined database--but doing the searching and browsing of the trees is free no matter which side you use to enter the database. If you think you know of an instance where that has happened--please let us know the specific data to which you refer. One World Tree is a subscription service that provides an advanced search engine to match and stitch similar or likely matched individuals together as a "shortcut" and convenience to subscribers. The very same data included in OWT from the family trees at WorldConnect and AWT is still free when accessed via the RootsWeb or Ancestry side directly at AWT and WorldConnect--but you have to do the matching of similar data yourself. (Actually it is very easy to do by viewing an entry of interest on WorldConnect and clicking the SEARCH WORLDCONNECT icon near the bottom of the page.) Joan
