AMEN, I'd not copy one thing on ancestry without follow-up documentation. 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......
