Yt,

Sorry,

I'm not understanding you.

No matter what we look for online we will always have heaps of other things which are not relevant "popping up".

As an e.g. I was googling an area last week by place name in Forfar, Scotland & it threw up a list of car owners from the 1970's with all owners names, car models they owned & complete with their addresses (which I have since posted a link to on here).

I was of course interested but that was irrelevant to what I was actually searching i.e. I really can't understand what you mean?

Some people believe everything that they read on the internet (seemingly without question)

So?   ???

I would have thought that the majority of researchers on here have benefited from Ancestry (even if indirectly).  My own research would have been greatly hampered without it, that's for sure.
I don't understand why some people seem to treat it as though it were a dirty word.

You may notice I have no qualms about using the word Ancestry. It would seem some people do not like to be linked to Ancestry on their posts and try to stop, or minimise this by not posting the word Ancestry, effective or not I do not know.
Others seem to have an aversion to Ancestry, or a love/hate relationship, going by previous threads on RootsChat.

I also think that in terms of speed it's easier to type A*/Anc/F M P etc. as we are pretty aware of what they stand for just as we type SP for scotlandspeople.

Why is there a need for speed?
How many milliseconds does it save, typing Anc* instead of Ancestry?
