Subject: [VA-ROOTS] Ancestry Family Trees


Apparently few are using the new family trees at ancestry.com. Unlike the 
old family trees, one world trees and gedcoms the new family trees at 
ancestry have a place for source citations, media, photos, stories and so 
on. You can click on a person and see at a glance if the person's records 
has been sourced and see the source.

I never had a tree at ancestry before because there was so much wrong info 
on those there, now I do and I am slowly building it with the addition of as 
many sources and other data as I can. I may not be able to go back to the 
middle ages as some claim but at least what I do have will be mostly 
sourced. We all should be so lucky as to trace our ancestors back to when 
they arrived in this country and those of us in the South are doubly lucky 
if we can after all the destruction of records during the Civil War.
