Why doesn Genealogy.com provide contributor names for all the trees in the World Family Tree?
There are a two reasons why we are not able to provide contributor information for a small number of trees in the World Family Tree. First, while the majority of World Family Tree contributor look forward to being contacted by possible distant relatives, some participants do not wish to be contacted. Out of respect for their wishes, we will not provide information about those contributors. Second, a small number of trees in the World Family Tree were not contributed by participants in the World Family Tree Project. These trees came from other sources, such as previously published collections of family trees. We do not have permission to publicize the contributor information for some of these trees, although we do have permission to publish the trees.
