My son is very comfy with his life being known on facebook -- and yet he won't 'friend' me...
I know that the social network offered by family trees on ancestry can potentially link me with far flung cousins given my very sparse family tree -- at the same time, I am somewhat private, and don't wish to deal with identity theft or 'bothering' because of public postings.
My current solution .... to start the family tree, or rather 4 family trees, with the parents of my parents. It means that I have more than one place to look, and post, as I do publish my research on line, BUT.. all those people are dead, and so there really isn't a link to me.
thoughts??
