I have to agree with Sally's comments. Years ago, before the home computer, I carefully copied a bunch of information from IGI cards. To make a long story short here is this eventually made it into a genealogy program and as I obtained more information errors started popping up. Turns out his young lad's first wife was really his grandmother and his son was his father. With the help of several others I compiled a booklet on a family. This was just a spiral bound thing, with only ten copies being made. One person that got a copy died and the family donated that booklet to a library/historical society. The reference page has been torn out of the booklet at some time or another. All of the names dates and places have been added to Ancestry. Very few of the transcribe documents of followed the person. I do not subscribe to Ancestry, but am a guest on several other peoples accounts. It is amazing the amount of trash that has accumulated there. A couple of weeks ago I discovered someone had copied an entire cemetery index from I site I maintain over to Find A Grave. I complained to FAG, and their response was, data is not copyrighted, thus it is legal. Several in a group that I belong to have started adding marker data to our sites for this vary reason. The person that copied the above cemetery even copied a couple of type-O that I made along with the markers. Another thing happening on FAG is people are making up obituaries. A big give-away here is when they use the last benefit listed in the SSDI as the place of death. In many cases this is not the same.   TR
