    3. I respectfully disagree- the worst thing is to be ignored, if you are a person or an entity like info! My own tree is posted in > 1 web site. My Great-Grandfather's history was taken, twisted, and distorted by a historian named Michelle, who insists he married a woman before he married my Great Grandmother. Now, I have proof of my G-Grandparents' marriage, she does not. So what? Maybe in Germany before the Franco-Prussian War, he did marry. But the child this Michelle claims as a product of that marriage is clearly in my own lineage, and I have PROOF from Philadelphia Archdiocesan records. The key is sources and proof, as we all know. Without them, and good quality ones at that, a whole tree loses validity. So folks can take anything they wish from me- i want to shout my ancestry from the rooftops! I need more, not less discussion on my ancestors.
