Hi Mike Having things automatically included on your Ancestry tree does not guarantee the accuracy of the information. If you downloaded this on to a FH tree there could many duplicates which you may have to sort out. That itself will be very time consuming. I have never checked my tree on Ancestry so have no idea if there have been any automatic additions. Even if there were I don't think I would be happy with that as I would like to know what has been added. I just follow any hints that turn up non Ancestry and check these for their accuracy. The only way you can be accurate abut anything is if you check them yourself even then you can't be 100% sure. But if I were not happy about anything then I just ignore the details.

Hi Victor I have other peoples trees un-ticked on my Ancestry tree so I don't see them, only hints on the facts databases and I check those as they are added..
