As a result, I've made connections with distant family members from around the world, some of whom have provided me with breakthroughs I'd never have made on my own. And yet five of the six people in my genealogy research group do not have public ...

A few questions that plague me. …Why Some Genealogists Keep Their Main Tree Private Isn’t the purpose of genealogy to preserve and share the history and stories of your ancestors and their families?
