Presentation was great. I listen to some of Drew's podcasts, but never heard him lecture. See you at RootsTech2025? The idea of really collaborating is truly frightening... This helped me see how it can fit into my larger picture!

Fantastic! It was a great definition and information on the different collaborative trees. Hearing more about them from Drew made me feel better about the guard rails and the things I could do to help other genealogists understand the information I add in, as well as understanding their logic on their connections.

I was familiar with the concept and have worked with the FamilySearch Family tree a little bit. I didn't know exactly what the others were. This was such good information and will help me go back and look again. I have a subscription to MyHeritage but I don't know what level. I'm going to go look! Thanks so much for a clear and concise introduction to these.
