ZoomPast

    It has been suggested that Zoompast is a good place for collaboration and pooling research.

    Considering I have my family tree in Ancestry and the person who has suggested ZoomPast can have access to it and I have my tree synced to FTM I cannot see the point in having my tree in 3 places.

    Would welcome people's thoughts/suggestions. Thanks.

    I've never heard of Zoompast, but there are many sites where you can upload a family tree, and if the aim is to connect with cousins then the more sites the better.

    However, not all of them allow you to connect with cousins whist keeping your tree private. Genes Reunited is good for this, though it's not nearly as popular as it once was.

    Thanks Peter.

    I started my research using Genes Reunited then found Ancestry which I looked upon as far superior to Genes. Genes has since upped its game but I'm not tempted to revert because I like the ability to look at other people's trees, even if they are shambolic!

    I can still keep my Ancestry tree private and share it with others and there is the option of not allowing them to see living people. I'll probably stick with that.
