I have my tree on rootsweb world connect. When you download you can choose to have no living showing. This also appears on Ancestry. Jeanie A.

Agree with Heather, think our info. will be there for all to see in some form or another, plus I think if you don';t renew you wont beable to see or add to - but haven't actually seen anthing about that - has anyone else?? Am going to leave mine off there, same as here if anyone asks nicely enough and you feel there is a connection you can swap info. via this webiste - certainly cheaper @ £9.95 pa. to the £70 to stay on Ancestry full sub!!!

Ive briefly read the email and it seems to suggest that unless you specify you dont want the world to see it, they will. You can tick a box which says not for general view when you get to the upload stage. However it does say that the separate names will be available with dob and pob - so Im not sure I really want to add mine.

I think you have to designate who can view it, but I may be wrong. Lynda x

I received an email from them telling me about the new options and I was tempted to transfer my tree on to the site but was concerned that as I have living rellies in mine was not keen to do as I am assuming everyone has acess to it? Gwen

I managed to download mine yesterday and must admit I am quite impressed. My subscription expires within the next couple of days, so it may not do me any good. Lynda x
