A comment on Family Echo – Free online family tree maker. Parent comment
One challenge with an authoritative tree is when a distant or non-relative creates a profile, marks it living and then that creator disappears.
A close relative shows up but the profile is locked to the creator. The actual relative has to jump thru hoops to get access to their own family.
With privacy concerns, I don't know how to handle it better. Only that folks might want to avoid creating living profiles except for close relatives.
