I did...among all the incorrect information I learned I actually AM related to Ryan SEACREST. Nothing new genealogically in that one for me but it was interesting. Same with a few others: Miley CYRUS for one. I already knew I was related to Merrill STREEP, Richard NIXON, and Kevin BACON through early English Quaker lines and the app also found them. I am still researching whether the maiden name of the mother of an English ancestor or mine is actually the one being touted in some of my possibly accurate connections. The app (using bad tree data) made incorrect connections for my Mennonite ancestor Mary BIERI linking her to a Mary BERRY in England.

My famous people are all from my dad's side. About a third of them tie into the wrong ancestor which makes it completely bogus. I have an ancestor Samuel Fitzpatrick who was born c 1812 TN and I believe he died in Arkansas sometime before 1900. The connections to the famous people use another Samuel Fitzpatrick also b TN around the same time. This Samuel Fitzpatrick died in TN. He has a date of death and a tombstone plus he's attached to parents, which I have not been able to determine for the man who actually is my ancestor. I was able to look at the records and I saw that the 'other' SF has a different family, which proves it's the wrong person. I understand it was entirely possible that MY person went back to TN and died there. But he didn't. There are other suggestions for different brick wall ancestors. I have not checked on them yet. I was wondering if anyone has found anything credible from this app. ~Lori ===== If you would prefer digest mode to mail mode, drop a note to roots-admin@rootsweb.com and ask for the digest... ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ROOTS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
