Hi Dave, I read what you wrote with great interest. Is this really an on line problem? I don't think so. I have seen histories of counties done thirty years apart where information was taken from the first and included in the second 1880 to 1913. I have seen census records which showed the place of birth being wrong. Wouldn't taking this information and including it in a file be the same as you are talking about? I have never submitted my information to WFT, yet my information is in at least two. While I feel frustration from this personally I don't feel that it is Genealogical Suicide. I also have a web site, I know more people come to my website than I hear from. This is frustrating in the fact that there might just be a close cousin that is not contacting me. In the beginning it bothered me, it doesn't any longer. I run a mail list on the Conover family, there is eronious information on the European ancestors of my family, it is printed in books and carried to the net. There has been discussion of this twice since December on the mail list about it being disproved. I bet it is still in a database on one of the members. Haven't there been times when you have received new information disproving what you have on the net? There has for me. I up date what I have and try to keep it as accurate as I can. That is the best anyone can do. As for me, I have a disclaimer that my information is for informational purposes only, who reads disclaimers? I think that it is up to each person to verify the information in books, WFT, LDS ancestral files and by all means the net. Eronious information started way before the net, in books and before that by word of mouth. It up to each individual to verify, correct, and continue their research. We have enough rules already. It is not time to burn the books, take down the web sites, get rid of Ancestral file, etc. That would be Genealogical Suicide. Sharing information and correcting the eronious information is the answer for me. Just my opinion.
