I still have my paper folders but now have most things scanned and uploaded in family folders on my computer (then back up regularly).<br />I agree with Catherine. My tree is now private due to the errors on others trees and attaching photos to the wrong people etc. I also got sick of people saving my photos as originals to their tree. If someone really wants to know something (normally direct family) then they will contact me and I am happy to share. Yes genuine researchers always ask permission.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636761469099608281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749871.post-20034515724667204522013-05-22T20:37:51.269+01:002013-05-22T20:37:51.269+01:00Its a Private Ancestry Tree for me now Julie becau...Its a Private Ancestry Tree for me now Julie because far too many people were wrongly attaching my family to that of a stranger and not changing it despite being advised... grrr. <br /><br />Not understandable errors, either e.g. the man purported to be my GGGrandmother's father was 4 years old when she was born!!! I suspect it's often caused by people taking up a 14day free offer, jumping on, grabbing anything that seems to fit and then leaving it there with all the errors... never again to return.<br /><br />Like you I always give family access... and genuine researchers always request information which I'm more than happy to provide.<br /><br />You're right about the importance of organising and I am gradually getting better at it... phew!

I noticed this morning something in a document that I had not, as far as I can remember noted down which was a big help when searching for something else. Of course, the to do list has grown by another 14 items!Julie Goucherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368170005503879489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749871.post-24618005223873014852013-05-22T14:55:32.562+01:002013-05-22T14:55:32.562+01:00You are so right about stopping the research and o...You are so right about stopping the research and organizing the material! More than once I've found material I had forgotten about or that told me something I hadn't noticed first time around.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413795611563683135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749871.post-62045276345369120842013-05-22T11:28:30.368+01:002013-05-22T11:28:30.368+01:00I think it depends where you are researching. Cert...I think it depends where you are researching. Certainly in South Africa you might need some help, but there is material online and I would personally explore that first. <br /><br />As to being organised, there is always a plan, but sometimes researching is much more fun than filing!Julie Goucherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368170005503879489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749871.post-68379769330290562992013-05-22T11:17:02.130+01:002013-05-22T11:17:02.130+01:00Julie, I am so envious of how organised you are.

I think family trees are fascinating, I'm probably going to have to pay someone to research ours.Lesley Beetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18384323023378437869noreply@blogger.com
