Each submitted tree is maintained separately and distinctly from other trees in
the collection. You can manually search for your ancestors in the trees in the collection.
If you find an ancestor, you must download the tree and merge it into your tree
using PC software.
|
|
|
pros/cons: |
|
You do all the searching and merging work yourself. Sometimes older versions of a
newly submitted tree are still present. |

description: |
|
Each submitted tree is maintained separate from the other trees in the collection,
but links are formed between apparently identical people. Links may lead to other
family trees or proprietary genealogy content. |
|
|
pros/cons: |
|
Because trees aren’t automatically merged, you have to review and accept even
completely obvious matches. Links sometimes require an additional paid subscription. |

description: |
|
Everybody works on one single on-line family tree, but each user maintains a unique
view of how his or her family lines connect into the single on-line family tree.
All duplication is automatically eliminated. System automatically searches for new
connec-tions and ancestors for you, and automatically merges them for you.
|
|
|
pros/cons: |
|
Only one in the world.
Greatly reduces tedious work and time spent, focusing you on key decisions.
Full chaining occurs, so that tying into the core tree often results in tens of
thousands of ancestors automatically added to your tree. |
