When I first encountered the internet more than 20 years ago, I eagerly shared my tree with someone. I was horrified to see they had copied my remarks about my parents, word for word. My mother had only recently died and my father was still alive. I have never shared my tree since then. My online tree stops with my long dead grandparents and any prior connections I drip feed until I feel they are genuine researchers, not just name gatherers.
