Uneasy about online tree

It's always the quiet, "respectable" ones, isn't it?

The sad thing is, that every son that he had called Peveril, after himself, died as an infant. All the other children survived.

See, a bit of a jinx kind of thing.

My gt.gt.grandmother had 4 children to 4 different men, didn't marry any of them, if she had done, I'd have had a different surname.............and a much bigger tree ...................

Thing is, life was really no different then as it is today. We are just open about it now. Trouble is, it makes searching more difficult when you have no marriage cert. to go on. Peveril has lead me on a wild goosechase some of the time. He covered quite a few counties. I still have to find out what happened to wife number two and three, plus three children that seem to vanish off the face of the earth.
Lets hope that 2007 brings some luck on finding them.

You only have to watch Eastenders or listen to the Archers to know that is so ... or look at my family tree !

How does one get access to people's Family Trees on-line?

I would like to see a few to find out how they are set out, how much information is included, etc.

And what is the best Web Site to publish on-line on?

I suppose the easiest way is to go to ancestry.com and click on 'Trees' at the top of the page, but please don't go looking at mine !!

I have often wondered how secure putting ones tree on the internet and so have found the previous messages interesting.

At present I keep my full tree on tribalpages plus warts and all, so its a ongoing research.  On genes only direct line, no living relations, no social or personal information, just the necessary dates. If a contact from genes gets in touch and requires more information etc I copy and paste the line etc required. Also usually tell them where I obtained the information. This works for me.   

Do not use ancestry, no real reason accept that on rootsweb there is a tree of one branch of my family somebody has put on slightly incorrect, and although I have been in touch with the owner he has not adjusted it. As you know rootsweb and ancestry are run by the same organization so it seems.  Having said that have been in contact with a few ancestry family tree owners and we have exchanged details required etc, and being very helpful.

Happy Christmas.
