How Do You Update Online Trees after Writing a Report

Nicole Dyer presents a comprehensive guide on updating online family trees after completing a research report. She discusses the process for both Ancestry and FamilySearch, highlighting the differences between the two platforms. For Ancestry, she recommends using software like Roots Magic or Family Tree Maker to sync updates. For FamilySearch, she advises preparing the report for sharing, checking for merged identities, detaching incorrect relationships, and attaching correct sources. Nicole emphasizes the importance of adding reason statements on FamilySearch due to its collaborative nature. She also addresses the question of which sources to attach, suggesting that major sources should be included, especially for individuals from earlier time periods. Nicole cautions about copyright considerations when uploading images from other websites and provides an example of updating sources for a profile on FamilySearch.
