If any one is on Ancestry and hasn't checked out the One World Tree search option, my best tip of the day would be enter some names and see what happens!!! A while ago I found an ancesters name on One World Tree, I couldn't definately link her to the tree and the chap who had submited her only had her name as a sister of one of his lot--now thanks to genes and a message from my g gran x2's sisters equivelent to me, I've got the link and with that the tree back to th late 1600's early 1700's, and I can pass it on to my newly found 'cousin', who has also shared her tree and info with me. OOH Isn't this all exciting--nearly better than s-- !!! : 0 ) |

Not wanting to chuck buckets of cold water! But don't forget, you do need to check the info you get from others. I have accessed several trees via One World Tree and have yet to find one without glaring errors on it! Not to say yours will be like that - but just be careful! Merry |

I know--but so far the only errors are in variations of spellings of the names and a couple of dates either side of the dates I have. I can actually see one that may not be right, one of the brothers spelt with a variation seems to be down as being born in a different town and county (though not too far away) than all the others, but all the other details seem to fit in ok--so wish me luck. I can't do a proper check yet as my cousin has that file to download onto gedcom at the moment but I'll be getting it back in a couple of weeks, I'v e-mailed the chap so we can do a doubl check and see where he got his info from.. |

Hi Carol Did you have to pay separately to access One World Tree? I am a member of Ancestry UK but when I click on a name that I want to check - it fetches up payment options, pay per view, vouchers, etc. Am I doing this wrong or do you have to pay anyway? Thanks and best wishes Carol |

No I didn't hav to pay extra. I hav the yearly full membership, you just add the name to the searching for pages. And don't worry you to I'll be careful--it takes too long to write out all the paperwork and make corrections!! Been there etc.!! |
