Sorry I didn't make myself totally clear and until you mentioned about copying sources Annie like copying people it actually hadn't crossed my mind.

I was asking from the point of view of perhaps finding the same person in a geneanet tree as i have wondered about in my tree but haven't added as couldn't source the info.  I would be interested to see the source info in the geneanet tree so that I could then verify it myself but I wasn't expecting that source info to be certificates.  At least not the actual certificate, although maybe just a reference to a certificate that I could follow up.  Most of my instances like this are too far back for certificates anyway but if there were something to indicate the source was a parish register/will etc then it would be searchable for verification (certanly wouldn't just accept it).

I am not a geneanet member - maybe becoming that might display sources?

As I mentioned earlier, I never give my source info. as so much of my info. has been copied over the years, some with wrong info. (which I've seen from hints), same name but wrong YoB & born in a different country.

If people can add hints with info. which is very clearly wrong, they're not going to use time/effort/expense to purchase whatever cert. I may give a ref. to e.g...
Scotlandspeople (SP) - BC - Joe Bloggs - 1885 - Cert. No. 12345 - Parish Dalziel - County Lanark

They'll copy the source info. without spending a penny...my tree is now private.

Used the first Geneatnet hint today.

It gave me a marriage and surname where all I had was the baptism of their son to George and Ann.

Found the marriage record, still not a lot on them.

They both still have the ? as profile image signifying more research needed.

There is also a big BUT, in that another Geneatnet hint has her being born in 1710 where the marriage is in 1724.

‘ Why should 'Anc' be allowed to advertise others' trees as 'Record' hints
if there are no source 'records' to view?

Because they are too big for their boots.

All my geneanet “hints” go back to my own geneanet tree. I’ve now deleted it since it was years out of date. Eg death quoted as between 1851 and 1861 based on census information, replaced with actual date in Ancestry tree having later located death reg and bought certificate

I am now getting such hints on a regular basis. It is either info that is already on my tree or wrong in detail. I don't trust it at all.

Geneanet trees are no different than Ancestry trees because they are someone else's research. If you look at the hints and then do your own research then there is no problem.

Got another "hint" from Ancestry linking to a Geneanet tree today

Definitely 100% accurate !
Because it was a link to my own Geneanet tree  ;D
The one I deleted a few weeks ago !

how can it happen that Ancestry are sending me hints from a tree which no longer exists?
