I have just been in Ancestry.co.uk - they have made me a guest would you believe - I just wish they had told me - my membership ran out today and if all that has happened had not, I would have considered a further membership. I am needless to say extremely happy - just hope I haven't misunderstood.
I notice my main Tree has been damaged but, as far as I can see, not too severely - folk have been added that I have never heard of and all the usual childish stuff.
I haven't looked at Trees 2,3 and ?4 -can't find no. 4! may it RIP wherever it has gone. I had on Trees 2 and 3 also done my adopted family. I can no longer, where a tree still exists, see how to make it private or public - none of it is a big secret but at least it takes up less space - I may be dreaming but I am sure I have heard you can put a Gedcom on something or other which is very small and keep it safe - I am sure there is an alternative way to use a Gedcom - I just don't know what the alternative is!!! Many of you have pointed out to me today how stupid I am so don't be surprised by the comment about Gedcoms - I may be quite wrong.
I am also absolutely delighted a) that ancestry have given me a free membership and 2) that they have 4 of my Trees safely nestling on their site.
I think I may have to take a leaf out of "Val I wish I' never started's" book and call myself "Sue I wish I'd never started"!
Ancestry may be a bit annoyed with me tomorrow morning when I ask them for the picture of the vessel perceived as a death threat. They took it onto their site - I was online with one of the Ancestry.co.uk workers who had been incredibly good and saw it virtually at the same time as he did - it was actually in the process of being added to the Tree. I read what was on it and then he grabbed it back and said "this will be dealt with in-house" - I can see his point but the company can hardly be blamed for one loony and at least he saw the sort of thing that had been happening. I need this picture for Police visit tomorrow.
Sue - feeling more proactive now, will grit dentures and get on with what I have to do.
I am sorry I was so grumpy this afternoon. I have always used my computer on my own because OH is not remotely interested in ancestry so I never have anyone to ask about how you actually do a tree, save a tree, etc - that bit was easy to work out but some of the things you mentioned on FTF I have only vaguely heard of.
