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 ?)
