Yes - why wouldn't you reply ? As for putting the details in a public tree , some people assume that it's ok because you shared the information in the first place. I shared my private tree with cousins , only to find all the details on Ancestry , including copies of certificates  and other documents. I won't be making that mistake again.

By the way - does this poll close today , the 11th , or Friday the12th:)

Lack of manners?

It's happened to me before.  One relative didn't have time to respond to new information but did have time to update her tree.   Apparently she'd been busy pruning her orchard and as we all know it takes much longer to type the words thank you than add a couple of dozen people to a tree on Ancestry.  ::)

This is probably going to be one of the most one-sided polls ever.

Everybody knows what they should do and everybody on here probably would do.

Except when there's an orchard to prune

At least this is one part of her tree which is well researched and accurate...
