In one case, I found a huge family tree, and even exchanged e-mails with the author, but still saved it to disk separately. I have been able to verify some of the entries from church records from the Pfalz, but have not found them all and not enough to connect to our family. I am reasonably sure the tree is pretty good. Also, I found another tree for the same family at another site on the net. The second one agreed in most respects with the first, but there were a couple of differences.. As a result, I don't enter anything in OUR family tree that I have not been able to verify myself. But I have made notes and even "alternate" family trees from what was online. Maybe, someday, I will be able to tie it all together. And maybe someday I will learn to read 19th century German script. Maybe. I guess, if I were in your position, I would try to isolate what came off the net and go back to an older version of my tree. A lot of work, but something you could be proud of. good luck Dan
