So we're all one big happy family then  ;D

My bachelor 1st cousin once removed, who was also my godfather, used to greet everyone in the village as 'cus'. He would have sorted out those trees  :D

Just looking at a tree on Ancestry which has a person born Staffordshire in 1723 and married in same county in 1921!!  Lets hope I have inherited some of his genes and also live to well beyond 200!  I haven't bothered to look but there's also a photo of him as a child!!

I live in a small town/large village. Was a lot smaller when I was wee. At primary school I was the only one not knowingly related to anyone else in the class.

There is an old maxim 'CICO' put Crap In get Crap Out.

Just as the advert tells you:
                  "Just type in your name and let us guide you step by step"

No wonder there are so many mistakes from half hearted and misguided fools who don't check
any of the details and accept them as verbatim.
