This is a very interesting discussion and I think that the important point to keep in mind is that the submitted genealogies are not the responsibility of Ancestry.com and should be taken in the spirit they are given. Fellow researchers, as imperfect as they may be, have done what they believe is their due diligence and want to share their work, as flawed as it is and post it online. For myself, I look back at what I thought was "good" research and documentation when I first began and laugh at how inept it was. As always, it is incumbent upon each researcher to verify all "facts" that are uncovered to the best of their ability. These online genealogies are only a small part of what is available on the Ancestry.com website but unfortunately we fixate on them because they are not without fault. Digitized books, census info, church and military records, historic newspapers...the list goes on and on. But for some reason, we all continue to beat the dead horse of submitted ! genealogies and the "wrong" information contained within. I prefer to focus on the positive. And right now I hear a hot turkey sandwich calling my name. A great evening to all. Catch you on the flip side. : ) Eileen
