Rosalie why do you wish to download someone elses tree?

It could be full of errors which they have copied off someone else who has copied it off someone else etc....

Where is the fun in copying?

I use other people trees as a possibility. I then research and verify the information for myself. I exchange verified information by email once a link has been established.
