  Oops, I did not read the list far enough down to where he lists
  World Family Tree on ALE.
   
  Rootsweb.com does allow for uploading etc.

    World Family Tree IS accessable through ALE. Hit the top search
    button and then scroll down the list that appears on the right
    hand side of the screen. It is near the bottom. However if  I
    want to just access the World Family Tree I do it through
    rootsweb.com as it is easier to locate the tab for it and at
    this point it is free.

      World Family Tree is a pedigree (lineage-linked) database
      within Genealogy.com.  Genealogy.com is own and operated by
      The Generations
      Network, the parent company of Ancestry.com, Rootsweb.com,
      Family Tree Maker,
      etc.
       
      Here is a current list of what's in Ancestry.com that's
      **not** in the Ancestry Library Edition (ALE):
       

      ·       
      One
      World Tree.  This is a computer-generated
      pedigree database.

       

      ·       
      The
      third-party content in Ancestry’s Historical Newspaper and
      Obituary
      Collections.  This also includes
      the obituaries obtained from ProQuest, which are available to
      libraries in the
      ProQuest Obituaries product.

       

      ·       
      ProQuest’s
      books in Ancestry’s Families and Local Histories
      Collection.  Those books are available in
      HeritageQuest Online.

       

      ·       
      PeopleFinder, which
      uses public records to locate living people.

       

      ·       
      Filby’s
      Passenger and Immigration Lists (PILI)
      and Gale’s City Directories. 
      These databases are owned by Gale Group and are licensed to
      only
      Ancestry.com.

       

      ·       
      Biography
      & Genealogy Master Index (BGMI)
      .

       

      ·       
      Ancestry
      World Tree and
      Ancestry Message Boards are available
      in ALE.  However, they are read-only.  Users cannot upload
      data, post messages
      or reply to messages.

      Importance: Low
      My understanding from William Forsythe at Proquest is that
      anything
      that is in Ancestry.com that is submitted by the general
      population is not part
      of Ancestry Library Edition, so One World Tree, Family Trees,
      message boards and
      the like are not included. Only verifiable databases are part
      of ALE.

        Is the World Family Tree available only

        number of the cd

        the ghost.  We
        would prefer to offer the information online.
