Collaborative or Silo?

Collaborative trees, ie don't create duplicates - co-operate

WikiTree - great privacy controls, DNA friendly. Make sure to record your sources - NOT just someone's family tree on the web.

FamilySearch - great source records to go with the extensive tree

Companion tools:
Puzilla - great for illustrating holes in your tree on FamilySearch
Relative Finder

Silo trees: fully under your own control
