What is the difference between a public pedigree and the Pedigree Vault?

A member pedigree is a pedigree a user creates or manages. The Pedigree Vault is the reference database maintained through the site’s pedigree administration.

1. Use My Pedigrees to manage the pedigrees assigned to your account.
2. When building a pedigree, autocomplete can search eligible Vault records and your own pedigrees. Other members’ private pedigrees should not be exposed through your autocomplete.
3. Check the source information and any review or verification indicators when using pedigree data.

Keep in mind: A displayed pedigree is not, by itself, an independent guarantee of registration, parentage, health, or performance.
