Hi all Bottom line is that a researcher should try to obtain at least three pieces of evidence as confirmation to support whatever fact they are looking for. This is not always easily done and perhaps it is impossible. But that's what keeps a credible tree from becoming a wish list. Sometimes you can knock your head against a brick wall trying to find any info on an ancestor and the best thing you can find is someone on Ancestry who is from that same tree but has been handed down more knowledge than you have been left with. Sometimes little hand up can get you on a path that breaks down the brickwall. I am not saying that you then copy their tree and leave satisfied. No, then the onus is on you to prove that what you have found is true. You could get in touch with the tree owner. You could check the Ancestry records if you are a member. You could go to your nearest FHL and order in a film or you could ask for help on this wonderful List. I have done all of these over the years.. And may I say, these "Listers" have given me wonderful help over many years. I feel like they have become part of my larger family...and very good friends. May I also say that it is very easy to be lead down the wrong road of wishful thinking...I have been there too so I will not write off anyone who makes mistakes. But one has to be conscientious enough to take researching seriously and try to prove your way back. Linda B.C. Canada.
