Some people who see a specific name posted in a GEDCOM file on one of these sites, feel that it is true. Someone recently contacted me about one of my great-grandfathers. He said he was also descended from him. Since I have extensive information on this ancestor, I did not recognize his name or how he might fit into the family. When we compared notes, it was merely a case of "same name" and close year of birth. I had documentation on this acestor and had traced him from birth to death, including all census records in which he appeared. The person who inquired lost "him" at some point in time and merely assumed that "mine" was the same guy. It was disappointing for the person who thought he knew about the ancestor, only to have it all disproven. Larry
