Sandra, The topic was about whether to make an ancestry tree, and how to make it searchable by adding Ancestry records, so not a totally different subject.

I agree - John was just trying to be helpful. He DID say someone would probably open a separate thread about the free access. perhaps you'd like to, Sandra?

Remember that to show up in the index (eventually), names in your ancestry tree will have to be sourced.
http://www.geneamusings.com/2017/12/ancestry-member-trees-indexing-rules.html

Interesting link, I didn't realise that at all.

After careful consideration, I have now made my main tree private again, which it was prior to me getting my DNA results last year.  I downloaded an ancestry gedcom, imported it to my family tree programme, then set it to export a further gedcom. Starting with my daughter, showing all ancestors and siblings, but not the other people who keep on getting added to my rather large tree, which actually starts with my grandaughter, i.e. son in laws family.

Imported this much reduced gedcom back into ancestry and deleted daughter (best way to avoid any online privacy issues is not to have the information there in the first place, even as private).

Now I have a public tree attached to my husband's and my DNA results. It does have full sources included, even ones which ancestry has supplied, but since there are no attached records or ancestry sources, it should remain visible to my DNA matches only.

If it works, it will be a complete success.

Thanks John

I've finished uploading my tree - no aunts, uncles etc, just the basic tree.

I still haven't actually taken out a sub with Ancestry so whatever little leaves I click on just take me to the 'join now' screen. I do get a list of matches from other trees but, again, can't access them without a sub.

As I've got the above, I'm assuming (perhaps wrongly) that my tree has been indexed and is available to Ancestry members?

Anyway, I've started reading the book on DNA & Genealogy which was recommended by someone on this thread (had to buy the book as I don't possess a kindle) and I must say, so far, its very accessible and reasonably easy to understand. Not that I'll be going for my PhD in Genealogy any time soon.........

xin, not sure what is odd about the links, I have lots of them. Click on them and they will give you the information.

As for what to do when you and Jill get your results back, here is a link to the latest Lost Cousins newsletter.

I've never had a sub, have I think only 2 records I got from Ancestry on a free weekend on my tree, don't have a tree on Ancestry or anywhere online but I was given an Ancestry DNA test for Christmas and am waiting for the results, reading this thread I think the money spent on the gift may have been wasted.
I'm not going to do anything until the test result arrives and than I'll have a think what to do with it.
Interesting thread though, thanks.
