Public trees on
Ancestry.com just mean that anyone can see your info and link to it. In
order for someone to add to your tree you have to send them an invitation to the tree and
if you only want them to add photos and stories, make them a contributer, to let them add
people, make them an editor. You can also add them just to view it. You can also choose
whether they can see the living or it stays private. To do all of this you click on manage
my tree. I make everyone a contributor so that they can add stories and photos, but people
changes have to come through me. I got linked with a bad Shelton line once and it was a
nightmare to clear up. If you need any help with ancestry let me know and I will try to
help.
If you are from the Grindle line too, then you also connect with me both ways. LOL
ain't trees great. I will be more than happy to send you anything I have from those
lines, but most of my stuff is from Vigo County. USGENWEB Indiana county sites are great
sources I have found. I like to help others when I get frustrated with my trees so if you
send me the names and dates of your brick walls, maybe I can help.
As far as the Farran line, my 2nd cousin once removed (I had to do the chart for that one)
is also researching this line and I think you contacted him today. There is another cousin
from that line that is helping. He just sent James Harvey Farran's death certificate
and obituary and newspaper article to us via email. I can forward it to you as well if you
are interested.
