I no longer allow access to my tree. The information I have on there I found on the internet, and there is no reason why anybody else can't find the same. After all isn't the fun part of Genealogy looking for and finding somebody ?!

I have less than 300 but have only been doing it for 3 years. I have only sourced just over a quarter as it is such a long and expensive job, but I don't want any more until I am completely happy that they are all mine and I know who they are.
All information, LD cannot be found on the internet, (if only) and I have had some amazing help from members here. I have been able to give info back so it has been satisfactory for all. Unfortunately I am a long way from my ancesters home turf and 'popping' into the local records office or the churchyard is not an option.
I don't think I will be around long enough to have a tree of a few thousand, will leave that to my decendants LOL

Marie from OZ.
Hi all , I have an earlier Post and since then I have been unable to view several trees all over1,000relatives???
So I sent an email to G.U. and they kindly answered yesterday saying that they were working on the Problem and thanking me for my Query.
It's not possible for all of us to source our information from the internet, I rely very much on Information from people willing to let me view their trees and to share their soucers this way i have come in contact with a large number of relatives also I have made friends with a number of people who have been prepared to look thing up for me even though the relative I 'm looking for doesnt belong to then.I will also add that I have not asked for this help they have freely offered to help For which I am very greatfull.
I will now climb down from my soap box.
Regards to you all. Marie from OZ.
