Census and Resource Discussion / Re: Incorrect Census transcriptions on Ancestry

To anyone looking at Family Tree data on Ancestry

I was looking for something the other day and got quite excited because I found the right family. However all the dates were wrong and the further back it went the worse it became. For most of these things I have Birth, Marriage or Death certs which prove what is on that particular tree is complete rubbish.

If you use Ancestry Family Trees, beware because had I not had certificates for some of the people listed I could have gone off at a complete tangent.

Didn't help me with the one vital link but so annoyed that even the info I had which is easily available from scotlan'd People was wrong for every record listed! (Is this a record ?)

I can't but agree!

I don't give out my tree to anyone unless they can prove there is a connection with me. I have no problem with sharing info with someone who is genuinely connected and having seen other family members pop up on GR I have either emailed or phoned them to tell them not to spend loads of £s on Scotland's People for records I already have and can easily email them.

I do make a point of replying to all messages and I get very annoyed when others don't make the same effort. How long does it take to send a quick email ?

I have used other folks tree info but have asked for their permission first and vice versa.

Alas there are still folks out there who think that genealogy is free! Suppose it is if they are plagarising other people's efforts.

I do find GR's Hot Matches irritating ! Occasionally useful tho.

Counting to 100 (10 never enough!)
