Leslie, Am I understanding this correctly - anyone can add anything to the one universal family tree? How do we know that this information is correct? I entered a few of my family members a couple of months ago and already have had all sorts of issues with others attaching to my tree with information I know is incorrect. I edited some information, thinking this was my personal tree, to find out I deleted information from another person's branch.
