If there are some serious skeletons in the closet that don't go too far back, they may want to share their experiences and family history, but it can hurt those that are still living. I will admit that I do hold a little back when dealing with skeletons that deal with living family members (well, not my father).<br /><br />As for online family trees being anonymous, I've got to say that whether there's a name on the tree or not, you've got to verify it all anyway. Maybe you can get some leads. I've found that sadly, even if you can contact people and let them know of a mistake they won't change it.<br /><br />Great blog by the way. I'm enjoying it so much!Cherie Cayemberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00748187506552981093noreply@blogger.com
