Is it possible to put the information on One World Tree too? If so how?

I feel of all the family tree programs Ancestry.Com has, One World Tree is trash. When they started the program they took information people had provided in their Ancestry World Tree program and supposedly combined all the different information they had put on the same person into one, showing all the differences.

However, I have seen at least twice where they have combined two people into one. I am removing my family from it whenever I find it.

Information in Family Trees on ANY website must not be taken as absolute fact as most is not documented or poorly documented, Even when you see the same info repeatedly by many different subscribers, that is no guarantee at all it is correct. A lot of people copy without verifying.

I feel Ancestry.Com's Public Member Trees are great. I think it is great how it helps you find records but referencing you back to records but not referencing you back to other people's family trees. That is not the way to get people to put in quality family history and certainly not their from their One World Tree program.

If a person has a Family Tree Maker and Genealogy.Com, unfortunately Genealogy.Com encourages people to merge other people's trees into theirs and then those people can upload their merged tree into various websites. Quality genealogy is not copying what someone else has. That is a major reason why there are so many errors in family trees on the internet. Actually, I understand some people will deliberately for the fun of it put a lot of junk in their family tree just to see how many fools will copy.

I saw a family tree on the Public Member tree with some of my family members and had quite a bit of documentation I could have shared, but when I saw he said he got his info from "one click of the mouse in One World Tree" I then realized he wasn't interested in real family research.
