I have been lurking for about a week now. This discussion concerning Ancestry.com could be made concerning any group that has family genealogy posted on the internet. It is only as good, accurate, reliable as the person who posts the information. I have even found information on LDS that is not accurate. I found information where someone created a connection to one of my lines that did not exist. No one famous or infamous and the only reason I could ever reach was the earlier part of the line had previously been well researched and well documented. Which is one of the reasons I have never posted my information, I want all of my documentation to satisfy my own criteria before I post anything. While much information is shared between family researchers if you look critically at the information you can discover which was copied and which was the original. Some of the mistakes are just sloppy work, people being born in counties that did not exist at that time, individuals being married in the wrong state, and on and on. Don't blame that on any one other than the individual posting the information. If you want the correct one there then post your own with all the qualifying information. You will be doing those that follow a huge service. Marilyne On 7/22/06, SueNY wrote: > > NO they did NOT. Whoever submitted your information to Ancestry did before > they submitted it.
