Have you checked to see if this research is correct? are you just going to take their word for it? |

Agree with Jax and Rollo. Be very careful with copied trees. |

Ancestry and its related webpages are very bad for people who copy without questioning. Their trees are not worth the paper they are written on, as the saying goes. Can you imagine, I apparently have a brother in law who was born in 1723, according to about 200 trees. :-S |

I found someone had a lot of my relatives on their tree including myself and my brothers. I asked them what link there was and they are related loosely to the husband of my cousin's husband. I wasn't at all happy but I don't think they took anyone off even the living rellies. I giggled tho as they have my parents details slightly incorrect - didn't tell them tho! |

As I have often said before ' the more people who copy a mistake - the more that mistake becomes CORRECT'. |

My daughter has two trees on here....only with herself, me and her dad in...both have my year of birth either side of what it should be....maybe I shouldn't have insisted I was 21 until I reached 40 :-D |

Looked at contacting a fellow researcher on Ancestry yesterday, but when I looked at his tree, found he had nealy 1200 people, but had not added one single record. |

How many trees do you see where the dob is listed as "C" circa or a marriage listed as just the quarter plus year, |

According to a couple of Ancestry trees, my sister and I are not our parent's children. |
