HI Janie, Erica, family, Mark, and All,

With my mother (Janie) just having got an Ancestry.com Ancestry DNA kit for Xmas (but she didn't sign up for the Ancestry.com FamilyTrees with related impressive document search), and having gotten some documents from Edith Ethridge and possibly newly Erica Blanton (Karen Leighty's daughter both in DC), I have an ongoing series of questions about ownership of data. 

First thought: Keep your own copies of your photos and documents, if you choose to engage these platforms. (The internet and machine learning change the dynamics of ownership questions here too). I appreciate WikiTree seeking to head toward Creative Commons' licensing, and also appreciate Ancestry.com's Ancestry DNA service (which seems to be somewhat leading the pack).

I searched on and found the following as well: 

WikiTree just emailed this photo scan-a-thon information - https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Scan-a-Thon - which may be interesting re questions of ownership of family history pictures, documents and data. More to think through - but I think the CC-licensing (like "copyright for sharing") would be more instituted in WikiTree than the proprietary licensing of Ancestry.com (for management) and re one's own personal family documents. What do you think?

And re scanning ... ownership of data questions ... and answers? You and I  may have emailed some of these questions before, but I'm thinking about this a bit further too. I searched and found the following re data, WikiTree and Ancestry compared in a sense:


Who owns Wikitree data and can I get it back?

You can export most data through GEDCOMs, but you are correct that GEDCOMs cannot include photos. We don't have another export medium. It's highly recommended that you keep copies of everything you upload. This shouldn't be the only place you store anything.

https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/195663/who-owns-wikitree-data-and-can-i-get-it-back

are WikiTree GEDCOM files creative commons licensed?

Photo Discoverability and Creative Commons Licenses
https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/750592/photo-discoverability-and-creative-commons-licenses

"I deeply appreciate that many WikiTree folks are trying to use Creative Commons Licenses for the photos and scans that they upload" AND "However, it is unfortunate that WikiTree has not yet integrated Creative Commons Licenses into the website's architecture."
https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/750592/photo-discoverability-and-creative-commons-licenses



who owns Ancestry.com data?

Ancestry.com takes DNA ownership rights from customers and their relatives
https://www.geneticsandsociety.org/article/ancestrycom-takes-dna-ownership-rights-customers-and-their-relatives

Ancestry has a history of backtracking on promises to customers
https://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/nation-world/article210969549.html

I also think I'll be able to go back to trace my family history through the Chadbourne line to Edward I, for example, in WikiTree, whereas Ancestry.com seems to be DNA & document focused, and may not go back much past the 1850s in Scotland, or  similar.
Cheers, Scott

Have added much of my thinking from this thread in the 'Gordon K MacLeod MD' label in my blog -

Hi Pin,

How are you? Visiting DC is fun, and with my mother and cousin. Saw a great virtual exhibit at the Renwick today! How are you, Mary, and your parents over this holiday?

Looking forward to seeing you with my mother on Sunday at noon, and to lunch at your parents! What's your parent's full address? See you soon!

Thanks so much for these great, great photos, Karen!

Your email here came when ... see below ...

Have been intending to do a blog post about visiting the Renwick museum, (and related virtual experiences even), and other museums in DC with you for a while, and will add all the good photos I took to this, and may send some along as well, if it isn't easy for you to download them! (Perhaps by Sunday!) And blogged a bit today -about all the robotics' language + - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/01/taiga-aphilo-scott-macleod-making-of.html - I've been hearing from you both :)

Memories are an interesting avenue to head in too with family history at some point. How best to do this in a focused way even? :)

Warm regards, Scott


P.S.: Your email here came when I was on a great walk out the 'ridge road' near where I live in Canyon 94516 in East Bay MUD (Municipal Utilities District) ... which is basically at least a 7 miles' long drive in green wood south from where I live to out of the 'park', (and contains Oakland's San Leandro water reservoir ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Bay_Municipal_Utility_District) ... with amazing views of the tops of mountains (like Mt Diablo) around here with NO houses or development on them due to great late urban planning. While there are no houses atop these big hills and ranges, there are big cities all around too including Lafayette, Concord, Walnut Creek, Pleasanton ... and quite a few more ... all fairly new large cities too, and close to the rest of the SF Bay Area cities. :) ... It's 331 square miles of watershed with about 7 reservoirs - 

Thanks again for these great photo memories!
