I do not have a paid Ancestry account, do have access to AncestryLibrary, so edited the link to the corresponding one for AncestryLibrary -- and found out that Tree is now Private.

https://www.ancestrylibrary.com/family-tree/person/tree/48039797/pe...

The tree has always been private - the owner will give membership as they deem fit.

Ah -you did not mention that, and it seems I assumed incorrectly.
Without a paid Ancestry Account, I know of no way to identify or contact an owner of a Tree on Ancestry.

This is the 1900 Census https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M9TT-HYR
is transcribed on FamilySearch as Bessie 19, Lewis 25, Hymen 15, Simon 12
Vs Bessie 18, Lewis 24, Hymen 14, Simon 11 listed above - but actual document shows Bessie 18, etc. a0- as does transcription on Ancestry
And she comes right under the Leshefsky family on the Census page.

This would be the 1920 Census referred to above: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MFM6-C6M

In both Dora is living in Upham's Corner, Dorchester, Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States

Her Death is currently listed as 1921 - in Boston, MA

The Index To Deaths in Massachusetts 1921 - 1925 has one Dora Fine, and she did die in Boston in 1921 - but the Death Record shows that Dora Fine was less than a year old: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6P65-CDL9

If one pages forward a bit in that Index, one also discovers one Dora Finn who died 1921 to 1925 - again, it was in 1921 in Boston
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6P6R-8K3W
Right age, spouse Abraham, she is a widow.
But parents are not the parents currently attached to her, nor is birth surname

Repeating
In the 1914, 1915, and 1916 Boston City Directory - the only Dora Finn is
[Finn] Dora widow Abraham h 49 Poplar

And adding
--Harry Finn - parents Abe Finn and Dora Malah - married Frances Segal in Boston on Jan 4, 1914. He was 28 at the time and living 49 Poplar St.
--Samuel Finn - Father: Abraham Finn born Russ -- Mother: Dora Moller born Russ -married Sadie Bronstein in Boston in 1917. He was age 25 - -- born Russia -- -- living 49 Poplar St. Boston .
Plus at time of Samuel Finn's 1914 Nat. Petition he was living at 49 Poplar.

Helping to suggest we have the right connections

Analyzing further the 1900 Census referred to above - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M9TT-HYR
And currently on Geni as https://www.geni.com/documents/view?doc_id=6000000201526153856

It has Dora FINE as Head -- born Dec 1847 - Age 52 -- a Widow -- married 27 years (suggests married in 1873) -- it says 4 children born, 4 alive - self and parents born in Russia, Po (for Russia Poland) -- immigrated in 1895 -- in US 5 years, still an Alien -- Field for Occupation is blank

with children Bessie 18, Lewis 24, Hymen 14, Simon 11 -- children are all listed as self and parents born Russia Po, and as immigrated 1895

It seems at least possible the children listed correspond to children currently listed for this Dora
--Bessie may be Bessie Etta Elka (Finn) Warsofsky. -- Birth: July 1881 -- Russia -- Death: March 15, 1952
--Lewis may be Louis Lazer Finn. -- Birth: circa 1875 - born Russia
--Hyman may be Harry ("Herman") Finn. -- Birth: circa December 25, 1885 -- Kaunas, Lithuania
--Simon may be Samuel Sheftel Finn -- Hebrew: שעפטל -- Birth: December 04, 1889 -- Kaunas, Kauno pavietas, Lithuania, Russian Empire

This 1900 Census is for Residence 39 Barton Street in Boston Massachusetts
"Ellis" and Rebecca Leshefsky and their children also at same address (and page) on that 1900 Census.

That 1900 Census said she had given birth to 4 children, 4 currently alive

But on Geni, 9 children are listed for this Dora, all of whom were alive or likely alive at that time -- those 4 plus
Morris (Moshe Yitzchak) Finn
Rebecca Leah (Riva Leah) (Finn) Leshefsky
Chaim Herman Finn
Rose (Finn) Nanis
Barnard (Beryl) Finn

Is that a problem?
