Who When Where

Agree with you wholeheartedly, paulHO1. Which made me think about my own Ancestry tree - it was bare branches, no siblings or siblings family and no attached media evidence. Not a lot to go but better than nothing, I hope. However I've added siblings etc and some supporting evidence for births and ...

Whilst I have no knowledge of Treevault, I do have a suggestion for you. Family trre Maker (FTM) has its own built in proprietary database, which can only be accessed by FTM itself, so losing FTM may mean you lose access to your data.

I do have my tree on Gedmatch, but my Ancestry match doesn’t, mores the pity. I’ll see if I can persuade her to the benefits,
