Use the data as clues and do the research yourself. Almost any site has more erroneous data than accurate data (2) the site is not very beneficial if you have your genealogy much further back than anyone else. Once you mine the world connect site you need to expand your search techniques. I think it would be interesting for readers to post their favorite search sites. Two of my current favorites are Ancestry (by subscription) and Family Tree DNA where I'm looking for people who match my markers. I have 22 sites on my browser favorites listing including the obituary column from the daily newspaper where my ancestors were raised. The latter is often a good source for family data.
