Hi Eleanor -
The goal to WikiTree is really collaboration with a balance with privacy.
What I would suggest, is that you contact the submitter through WikiTree and collaborate with them.The two of you can discuss the documents & information, and hopefully create a positive research relationship.Two minds are always better than one.
WikiTree is not here to have people spread misinformation.Our goal is to create an environment where people can protect their data, while also collaborate with cousins/other researchers.On our Facebook Page and Twitter page, we often discuss genealogy tips and basic guidelines for beginners.
Also remember that not all profiles are private.Some profiles (based on the submitter's preferences) may be open, and anyone with a free WikiTree account can add to it.
I hope you take a moment to really check out WikiTree, because it really is different. Since we are a relatively small community, you will generally get responses to messages or requests within a reasonable amount of time.
If you have any ideas to help improve WikiTree, please let us know.We are always looking for new ideas and things to improve, so please feel free to let me or WikiTree's creator know (Chris Whitten, [email protected]).
Thanks,
Elyse
