Someone asked me once for information on my family to verify if we were related....I gave him my website addy to check and he emailed me a couple of weeks later telling me proudly that we had a common relative and so he put my entire family on world tree and to go check it out. I was so angry! If I had wanted it there, I would have put it there! I looked for my family information and sure enough...he'd transcribed my information, making lots of mispellings and errors. I couldn't even speak for a couple of days, then wrote and told him of some of the errors he'd made but they've never been corrected. I don't even go to world family tree for that reason...I don't want to come across the postings again...I don't like feeling that angry. In addition to that, since then, some family members have attended classes on identity theft and requested that I remove their information from my website, which I did....but there is no way for me to remove it from sites someone else might've transcribed it to.

In my opinion One World Tree information is all but useless. These trees were created by merging trees that mostly are unsourced. Where you say you see 20 user submitted trees probably at least half have been copied from each other. Using One World Tree or one of these user submittted trees as a source is no source at all. The people who put these trees together are what I call name gatherers and really don't want to learn about their ancestors. They just want to brag about having this data file with over 100,000 people. The only time I even look at these trees is when my ladder will no longer even reach the top of the brick wall let alone knock it down. Even then I am looking for clues and will not use their data unless I can validate it. In other words assume this data is incorrect unless you can prove otherwise.

I disagree. I find user reviews, such as those found on Amazon, immensely beneficial. Regardless, you can't speak for everyone; only yourself. If you feel you won't benefit, fine. Don't participate. The rest of us will determine for ourselves whether there is benefit to be gleaned.

Yes - the Family History Library in Salt Lake did a completely new set of digital images of the census and an all new index. They also have the 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1880 census. You can search them (free) at: www.familysearchlabs.org They also gave these images/index to Ancestry.

I have not revisited the 1900 census in a while. What I noticed is that the images have been really cleaned up. I had a few relatives that were found at the bottom of the pages which were water damaged. Now you can really read the names Chris Hendrickson

Some time ago there was a lot of chat on this list on just how to access the 'free' NYT Archives database. As I recall, it was a little complicated, and I haven't used it in a long time, so I've forgotten how to do it. Now that I DO want it, I can't remember just how you do it, and I wasn't smart enough to print out the instructions (which I WILL do this time, if someone will be kind enough to post the detailed instructions to the list). I'm sure many of us would like to see this subject re-visited. Specifically, I am trying to access and print out an obituary for a Jacob MATHEIS, which appeared in the 4/20th/1939 issue of the NYC, but there were also a lot of other 'hits' on the name I would like to check out.
