Like many others I tread carefully on Ancestry.Com and do not accept anything as fact until I am able to validate or verify the information from original documents and/or source, and establish a link as to how the information got onto Ancestry.Com in the first place. As I do with any "discoveries" made during my genealogy "detective" searches. Amazingly I am increasingly finding information that I have posted on various rootsweb lists popping up as fact on Ancestry.Com and other pay-to-view or free genealogy sites. For example, when making initial queries and requests on rootsweb lists for assistance I have made reference to various names, events, relationships, places, dates etc. that at the time of posting I thought were correct. Some of this information I have then found to be incorrect as a consequence of assistance from other listers and my further verified research into my family heritage. This is part of the process of genealogical discovery, and a frequent occurrence when in parishes of Scotland have many persons with the same surname and first names across generations. However, I have not placed the corrected information for my family to the rootsweb list or as a reply to my original posting. Like many others I have acknowledged to a list that a response to a quest for help has been given, and thanked persons for their assistance. Unfortunately information on my original query to a rootsweb list, often made some years ago, seems to have been uplifted and placed on Ancestry.Com and pay-to-view or free sites as parts of publically listed family trees or stand-alone information. No reference is made by these sites to the source of the information or any disclaimer made to the accuracy of the information. The problem I then have is that I cannot remove or correct this incorrect information on these sites as I am not the user of the site who placed it there, and in most cases the user cannot be contacted because of the way the site is set up. In some cases I also do not want to pay a subscription to join a site just to correct the information or access the person responsible for placing it there. Thankfully my email address is given on my rootsweb postings to lists over the years when another distant relative "goggles" a name in their quest for discovering their heritage. Thankfully I still have the same email address. Once they have made contact with me I am able to provide corrections and up-to-date information, as well as, establish links to new information on family to explore. Alternatively they have made a query to the list that I have posted information to in the past, and I have been able to make contact with them. Of course, the reciprocal applies when it is me "goggling" a name. It is disappointing that those persons responsible for uplifting incorrect information from my rootsweb listings have not done likewise. Jacqui Gee Dunedin, New Zealand
