Hi Joan The culprits are people, not Ancestry or any other site People do the research (or not as the case may be) false genealogies are not a new phenomenon, they have been around as long as man has walked the earth As to Ancestry grabbing data from other sites, it simply isn't true, the data they have from other sites they have made reciprocal agreements with or paid them, any data they have that was free, remains so (such as the familysearch data, now on findmypast and Ancestry) As to the accuracy problems you mention, without knowing exactly what you refer to its hard to say where the inaccuracy comes from At least with Ancestry you can *add* a correction or variation which is then *added* to the searchable data, so helping others to find it (and yourself at a later point in time :-) So is Ancestry the Ogre you paint them to be? I would say no, the Ogre's are the lazy researchers who want a quick fix and large numbers in their trees, they would be doing the same if Ancestry didn't exist Yes the adverts could be taken to be misleading but if they advertised that genealogy could take over most of your waking hours, cost you a small fortune, drive you round the twist at times and you will never be able to finish it I suspect there would not be many takers :-) On 24/07/2015 23:40, Joan Van Daalen via wrote: > I'm beginning to think the culprit is Ancestry.com.

Hi Mary At risk of upsetting others, but it is Lincolnshire based ;-) I suspect a great deal of the food eaten in the 1820 to 1850 time frame would be much the same around the country, some will have a local name for the same things, others foods eaten may be more specific due to location (near the sea for example) A few listed here <http://www.lincolnshireecho.co.uk/5-Traditional-Lincolnshire-Foods/story-19860045-detail/story.html> And on this genweb page http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~englin/ It takes you to http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~englin/foods.htm Food eaten back then would be far more seasonal than today where we fly strawberrys around the world daily (mad isn't it) but that was much the case right up to the 1960's in my experience, you ate was ready to eat at that time of year In the 1820 to 1850 period there was no refrigeration so you ate fresh before it went off There have been major changes in eating habits over time through various reasons, one that springs to mind is oysters, once cheap and plentiful they were eaten by everyone, now they are expensive (I am glad to say I couldn't eat one) I would say the much talked about yorkshire pudding was eaten all over the country, particularly in Lincolnshire with its border tie with Yorkshire I have seen many "local" sayings, customs and foodstuffs mentioned over the years, much of which I would say are more national or regional than county based, although they may have been more localized at some point in time long ago Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 24/07/2015 21:49, Mary Jefferson via wrote: > For a far away Lincolnshire follower (my great-great grandparents > were from Wrawby) I have thoroughly enjoyed reading about the > different foods that were common to Lincolnshire.

In my experience Ancestry are certainly not the rogues some people seem to think they are. In June I subscribed for just one month. Almost immediately they came back and asked me how old I was. I said 76 (give or take a few days) and was then offered a further three months for the price of one month. Either they look after OAPs or like my site at WorldConnect.

G'day List Agree with Murray Have not put anything on list recently My Ben does some cooking too since we retired Enjoys cook Roast Beef but not tried Yorkshire Pud recently We are from Lincolnshire been here over 50 years Ben and Bridget South Australia From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Saturday, 25 July 2015 8:11 AM To: [email protected] Subject: ENG-LINCSGEN Digest, Vol 10, Issue 121

Nivard. I would unsubscribe but why should I let them win. Don't you dare! Being 5 generations and half a world away from my Linc's roots I find it essential to mix social history with my family history so have been fascinated by the cooking lessons. On Tuesday, for the first time in my life, I ate Yorkshire pudding, and I made it myself. Why, because it was my birthday. Very recently I have taken on the role of a house husband as my love interest is slipping into dementia. I have never cooked in my life but am now enjoying the challenge and it is something we can do together. For those of you who get grumpy when this list flies off on a tangent, please take a deep breath, and then hit the DELETE button. For the rest of you, please use meaningful subject lines so the grumpy ones aren't forced to wade through the post before hitting the D button. Murray New Zealand

Well, Linda's waking up to a new day, I think, and I'm lying in bed with my iPad ready for sleep, me not the iPad, and thinking, 'yep, she's right'.

I'm beginning to think the culprit is Ancestry.com. It is all too easy to 'research' the family tree, as it seems that Ancestry has grabbed all the data from other sites and turned them into a profit making concern. Of course the accuracy cannot be guaranteed and in fact I found that the dates of birth for my ggrandparents were way off the mark, and I was able to go in and correct them. There are two problems here. How did incorrect data get entered in the first place, and how could it be possible for me to go in and change them? Also, since genealogists are invited to add their family trees to the mix, how is that data validated? I think the trees produced in this manner are probably not worth the paper they're printed on, but according to the TV ads, all you have to do is enter Uncle Joe's name and go from there! It speaks to the quality of what you find there.

Hi, just maybe the thread did go on a bit with food, but in the place of nothing ??. Nivard you are quite correct about the silence of late on this list, it seems that most people on the list have all the info. regarding family history, that they need. Well I for one have not, although, my research has slowed down quite a lot this last year, for several reasons, one is the old one of funds to follow up any leads, several conflicts of interest, illness, and not to forget, people offering incorrect info. on persons, mainly in different parts of the world ( Canada, America, are the main culprits. So anything that helps to ease the silence, cannot all be bad, keep it up Nivard.

Hi List Can anyone remember how this topic started? Someone in the USA is having a quiet chuckle me thinks, but it has certainly wound up the correspondence during an often quiet period especially in the northern hemisphere summer months.

Hi Listers I've been on this List for many years as have others. I now feel like you are part of my community and each morning I can't wait to read the latest that you've posted while on the other side of the pond, I've been asleep. We've always, for the most part been an amiable bunch and I must say, most helpful. For myself, I've enjoyed the "food talk" and have learned things I didn't know which is now leading me to put together a story for my writing group about Yorkshire Pudding. It upsets me when Listers show such impatience with others who are finding enjoyment in a subject that doesn't interest all. Why not post what is interesting to you (under the subject Lincolnshire of course) .reminisce with us about the old days or ask a question about your current research .I'm sure you haven't answered every question you've ever had about your family? If so I could use some help. Or perhaps your genealogy is in the drawer and needs to be dusted off and gone over again. I join others in remembering that this list used to have the current number of postings every day. Where have you all gone? If you can read this post then it is possible to contribute. I research almost every day .to me its relaxing and an escape from all the things that The Golden Years have brought along with them. Cheers, chin up, and all that good stuff. Linda B.C.

For a far away Lincolnshire follower (my great-great grandparents were from Wrawby) I have thoroughly enjoyed reading about the different foods that were common to Lincolnshire. Since my ancestors were Ag Labs (say circa 1820 to 1850 in Lincolnshire) would have enjoyed the same foods?
