I agree. Be very wary of ancestry trees. I shared my data directly with a distant cousin a few years back and, somehow, when she entered it at ancestry, she managed to have one ancestor married to her own son and her husband. It's a mess.

The site is a mess for documented research. Thank you I will keep my stuff in hard copies in binders... USE ancestry only for a clue, do your own research!!! I had one person who told me he counts all the entries and if 25 or 30 people have copied it to their trees then it has to be true... So that is how this stuff gets perpetuated. Even when it says unsourced......

A family has put the wrong wife for my immigrant Johannes Conrad Mohr and it just kills me how many think it is right. To make it worse, they have a woman married to her own son. Be wary of posted material. They are more interested in getting it online than in documentation. And, as we learned in records at the LDS, once entered, it will never be deleted. Others may add or correct, but the original remains. The power of the internet perpetuates errors. Sift the coal and find the diamond.

I once saw a picture in one of the trees that was captioned, "McGuire Settlement 1790". 1790!, who had cameras in 1790. Clues, leads or ideas. That's all they're good for.
