Either no responses or bounced mail. Ancestry.com will not correct errors in family trees but they will create some on their own. I know by experience. They took my information and converted it to what they have from other sources. Thus my cousin no longer exists. She has been replaced by a woman who died in GA. a number of years before my cousin's marriage. It's disgusting to see how inaccurate the family trees are and to know there can nothing be done to correct them. Before a tree can be posted, documentation should be a requirement. mbm
