I have not got my tree on one-world tree as some of my information was given to me by relatives who may not want it to be publicly available, However ancestry have introduced a personal tree feature to replace people I am looking for. I have only added my direct ancestors so far. Val's right it is really good. You can make it public or keep it private and I think it automatically hides living people under 85. It has several really good features you can add photos look for souce records and add them and look for matches in one world tree. The matches are shown with names of mother and father which make them easier to screen than hot matches. If you accept them you can merge them to your tree. The feature I like best is the time line which goes by the side of the person's record which makes it easy to see how old they were when they were matched and dispatched.

Just reading your thread I was not sure to add mine as I have living rellies in my tree and was concerned about others seeing it, Now you have said you can keep it private I think I will add mine. Thanks Gwen

I did not know that you can keep it private in Ancestry - I have not uploaded mine as OneWorld Tree as I did not want other people to be able to amend it without me knowing or controlling what additions or changes they are making to the uploaded One World Tree in Ancestry. I'll have to look at it again to find out about the private tree in Ancestry. Thanks Claire

Started to put mine on too, I agree so easy, and you can keep it private if you want. JoJo

so easy and it looks good too, took about 1 minute to upload.
