Good Morning! I have a question that I was wondering if anyone else has ever run into and how to handle it. On one of my family lines about 30 years ago a researcher, from a different line, confused two individuals with the same name who lived in the same area in the mid 1700's. The two families were merged and the error was not discovered until many years later. Luckily my lines were never based on the erroneous information, because we have original documents in the family detailing the lineage. Documents include marriage certificates, baptismal records, deeds and wills. I have even had my information verified by another researcher who has spent 20 some years trying to straighten this out. Recently, I have seen the incorrect information show up frequently on the net. I have written to the people posting the information, explain about the documents I have and offer to send copies and get no response or get the response that they believe their information is correct and they will not change it. My question is...What do you do? It's frustrating to see the incorrect information perpetuate itself and I am concerned that the more it shows up on the net the more people believe its authenticity. I have even had people refer me to another web site as proof of their information's accuracy. For my part, information on the net is only theory until I have source documents to back it up. Rest assured this is not a Cagle line I'm referring to. But with all the experienced and friendly researchers out there I was hoping someone else may have an idea how to handle this type of situation. And, for those who are new to research, it may serve as a warning not to take information on the net at face value. Thanks!
