"Ignoring" Ancestry hints

[pinot]

I have found, from hints, several useful public trees which include my easily-identifiable ancestor, but some trees are offered which have people of the right names but from other places; I have tried to dispose of the irrelevant trees by clicking on the 'select tree' box then on the 'cancel' box, but the tree stays up. I know Ancestry has another 'ignore' function which works well, but it doesn't seem to be an option in this respect. Can some kind Chatter help me to stop meeting the irrelevant trees again and again?

I think what you have to so is select the trees you want to keep then follow the steps to add the info that is on their tree if its' the same as yours it won't change anything only add those trees as sources then go back to the hints and click ignore the actual hint rather than the individual trees if you want to keep the relevant ones or just click ignore for all the tree hint if that makes sense

I ignore ALL the Ancestry Tree Hints - unless  I want to add a lot of children onto a couple quickly, and I know what's there is correct.

Just click on Ignore in the hints list. You can always go back to have a later look, on the person's Hints page, under "Ignored".

I have a quick glance to see whether there's any possibly useful info, particularly if there may be children born less than 100 years ago which are less easy to find.

I don't accept or reject any info from trees.  I simply leave them there as a possible hint.

I'll often look at them,  if I'm at a loose end ... may even have a look at that public tree if the hint concerns someone I've not a lot about, to see how they relate, but more often it's simply a glance ... sometimes with an exasperated "How did they get THAT!" when there's some obviously incorrect information, or highly suspect links.
And very rarely, if the mistake is close to home, and annoys me, I'll communicate.....

Thanks to all for your helpful advice; I now feel a little more in control over the sometimes fatuous advices  .
