Youngtug, where can I go to find reliable records?
Mike, thank you for your comments. I have seen some ridiculously erroneous data in Ancestry hints, which really annoys me. People see a name, think it's the same as a name in the family and add it to their tree when it is an entirely different person altogether. I used to ask people whose trees I found in the hints what their connection was to the family and they came up with a really vague connection, so I gave up. Another thing I don't like is when someone includes all the inlaws and their relations and their inlaws, etc., in their family tree. I just enter the names of spouses, not the spouses' entire families.
Aghadowey, that was not a nice experience seeing your father's name on a headstone - does he know about this? It's annoying that people just assume things and put them in the family tree as fact. Someone added a photo of a woman she believed to be my grandmother, but the woman in the photo was not my grandmother. I told the person concerned this and directed her to a photo of my actual grandmother. I'm happy to say she accepted this and changed the photo to the correct one. She said that she had got the information from a dvd. Only problem is, other people have seen her original photo and posted it to their trees as being my grandmother.
