A lot of people use Ancestry. I love it but would never believe what has happened. I few years ago a man contacted me and said he had ran upon box of old photo (Photography) back till 1905 in a flea market in Southern CA years ago. He had no idea who the people were but he was into genealogy and did not want them to be tossed as precious to someone so he purchased. Had put on message board and unbelievable they were on my family.
A lot that does Ancestry use private. I use public as info is passed through families and bibles of birth and death that you can not find legal records or personal stories. I have received so much assistance from others that do public sharing and appreciate the help and hours they have done reliable sources. I have met distant family members.
A lovely lady, looking for her friend that had been adopted birth family. I was able to find her sibling, my cousin. You see this sort of thing on t v but never dreamed of it ever would be your family. They are in their late 60's and records sealed. I was able to witness their first meeting yesterday. William Carter and Melodie Thomas Eiteljorge. You could tell as they were perfect match. I was able to talk to her friend and she was going to change her trees to public now.
I felt like yesterday was Christmas. Like went the day is done and you have such a uplifting of being with family. A good time and know it was special memories built.
