Re the title "Sharing" - every now and again I feel guilty that my Tree is not public but I am wary of opening it, not because I don't like to share, I am all for it BUT, for the "start of my life" which was slightly unusual to be left off, it would be a Tree without a beginning. I do share it with people (and there are a group) who are researching one of the same families or something but I have checked and none have ever put anything about me on their own Trees and I have never put anything on about anyone else whose Tree I have access to. I think ancestry makes you dead if there is no date of death? All appropriate boxes are ticked anyway.
Having said that, I was shocked to see a couple of days ago, a website with my name on it! Something called GENi - never heard of it, never used it and never seen it before. Has my dob if I remember correctly.
I also noticed, quite a while ago, that when I logged into the Mormon site (which I had never done before because it can be used without logging in so I never had) because it is such a public site I didn't use my own name but the moment I put my never used before username in and had to follow it with E-address (which they have never had before), it immediately responded by saying "Hello Susan" ................where the heck did that come from.
Even worse I decided to have a look at their family Trees which seem to be totally public and the first thing I saw was my own name - I have never put a Tree on FSOrg - I notice it has been added to with info I recently put on my Private Ancestry Tree ............how very peculiar. Perhaps I shouldn't worry about my ancestry Tree being Private or Public.
I have challenged FSOrg and they say they are looking into it!
