I took a FH class many years ago just at the start of the internet( and trees) and we were talking about the IGI and it being unchecked/donated information. As the person who helped me get started was LDS I already knew about it and was told not to trust it, so I was getting the same information again.
The teacher told a story about sending in 200 names as a tree which were complete fiction at the time to see what happened, these were accepted and added to their collection, which is what it is called now 'CD collections' that so many use as real, checking the 'familysearch' trees there it was in full, so I learned very early on to research real records and not fake ones.......
Coming across the handout from that class a few weeks ago I decided to check and see and with the free wkend offered I did and it is attached to many trees online, so they are already there, already copied/pasted and added to very many the fake online trees
