For a long time I have held off using Ancestry but have now taken out subscription, I don't really want to use many of their records I just want to float my tree on there to see who else might be researching 'my' names. I use Family Historian and want to keep my main tree on my computer so I've copied my file and deleted everything apart from the BMD entries which is all that I want to upload to my Ancestry tree, however I am left with living people and although the only information left is their name and BM details which are readily available from other sources I would really like them to be private, so, do Ancestry automatically denote people as 'Living' if they have a recent birth date? And, as I will want to keep reloading a new tree when I have added several more names do I have to do a new Ancestry tree each time or will the old one be overwritten?
Sorry the questions must seem very basic to all of you who have used Ancestry for years, but since GR this will be the first on-line tree that I have uploaded anywhere. I have also looked at the McKiev (spelling?) programme but if I used that every bit of information that I hold would be backed up to Ancestry and I don't really want that though keeping the Ancestry tree up to date would be easier, but at least using FH I can delete all the information that I don't want others to have ready access too.
Any help will be appreciated, also I assume that there are Ancestry Forums, which is the best one?
Oh dear so many rather basic (or stupid?) questions, but hopefully someone will be able to give me some answers or at least point me in the right direction for answers.
