	Why do you want to do that without doing your own research, another tree could be full of mistakes ? Its like copying someone elses homework?
	Researching: For better results please give all the details ,name, date place as you can {pictures by me }

	Well I guess this is case proven, it's a bad idea to open up your tree to anyone!

	Why on earth would you want to C&P someone else's tree? Copying causes more problems on here than just about anything else. If you just copy you don't know if the information is correct & you certainly learn nothing about your ancestors. Sorry but to C & P is just to name collect

	You do it at your peril, first you ask the tree owner if you can, Then you remember not to put living relatives details,
