Hi Rachel, I'm with you, I love FTM. How were you able to contact the person that put in wrong info???? That has happened with my Rev. ancestor John CHAPMAN. It's startling to look & find yourself & not have any idea who has put you there. I checked via one of their phone numbers & was told the contributor preferred to remain anonymous. My main concern was that the info on the Rev. man had been taken from about 3 books, combining 2-3 men. I worked hard to get proof of the correct John & I don't mind sharing, but I would just suggest that everything has to be proven.
