is my tree public
Answers

On FamilySearch, there's only one tree.
Some branches of the branches aren't connected to the rest of the tree, and some branches are repeated because no one has merged duplicates yet, but it's all one tree.
Here's an official explanation:

If you've entered any living people, they're private, only visible to you.
One neat benefit to the one tree system? You can see how you're related to anyone else. For example, I'm a 10th cousin, three times removed of Sterling Holloway, the original voice of Winnie the Pooh. I'd never be working on such distant relatives' genealogy, but someone else has, and our trees have linked into one:

(Click "View my relationship" at the top of any person's entry, to see if you're related.)

Short Answer: 'Yes', in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch" for "Deceased" individuals/persons ...
.
As an aside ...
.
We do not have our OWN "Tree" in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch".
.
We ONLY have "Branches", that are interconnected, in this SINGLE "One" World "Tree", for all of us, that is "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch".
.
"Family Tree" of "FamilySearch" is NOT like "Ancestry_com" or the like.
.
We DO NOT have "Private"/"Personal" 'Trees' in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch" like other "Websites"; and/or, 'standalone' personal programmes.
.
We do not even, own; or, manage; and, are NOT even responsible for, the "Deceased" individuals/persons in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch".
.
"Family Tree" of "FamilySearch" is built on a "Open Edit" Platform - hence, why any registered User/Patron can "Edit" (ie. Add, Delete; and/or, Change) ANY "Deceased" individual/person in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch".
.
If fact, you can ONLY see "Deceased" individual/person in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch"; except, with this 'rider', that you can ALSO only see "Living" individual/person in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch" that YOU created; as, they reside in your "Private Spaces".
.
No other User/Patron can see ANY "Living" individuals/persons that were created by another User/Patron; as, they ONLY reside in the "Private Spaces" of the User/Patron who created them.
.
We CANNOT even see the ACTUAL Record in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch" of our IMMEDIATE Family (eg. Spouse; Children; Parents; Siblings; ETC; Etc; etc) if they are "Living"; and, they have their own "FamilySearch" Account.
.
I hope this helps.
