When you submit an alternate name or alternate data , that comes up as a yellow triangle next to the info that has alternate information...if you run your cursor over that triangle, the alternate info will show...an alternate info search will come up with the data for the alternate name, but in THEIR original spelling. (I hope that made sense) . I did contact ancestry once and asked why, if a relation contacted them with the correct info did they not change the way the data base reads and was basically told they wee not going to change what had been originally transcribed...period...BUT in their defense, I have seen some alternate info with multiple different possibilities...you see this all the time on ONE WORLD TREES...so I can see why they would not want to be changing the database every time someone submits a different spelling or birthdate. That information might or might not be correct. Joyce In a message dated 9/6/2008 11:58:34 A.M.

The data base remains the same and is not corrected to what you have ascertained it to be. So adding a comment is ??? This information is not completely correct. I correct name information on Ancestry.com census records all the time. When you click on a record after a search, in the left hand menu pane there is a link called something like Comments or Corrections. If you go to that link, you can add your version of the names. ************** Psssst...Have you heard the news?
