Problem with Ancestry

[farmeroman]

‘ And, why are you piggy-backing on a thread about Ancestry Hints?
Report, ‘

Because the the of the tile of the tread is Problem with Ancestry
The poster asks if anyone else is having problems and
Because I have just seen information on Ancestry that is false.

Why do people ask such questions?

I don't think it was an invitation for anyone to post Ancestry problems or the thread would very quickly get to 100's of posts and become unreadable.

I think a better thread title would have been "Problem with Ancestry Hints".

It's always good to create a longer and more specific thread title to ensure that you get an answer to your specific question.

Re death records wrongly transcribed using the American date format, I've just found a 2003 death record where both birth and death dates were wrong:

Birth date 12 Jan 1912 transcribed as 1 Dec 1912
Death date 3 Oct 2003 transcribed as 10 Mar 2003.

... and when I submit corrections they show up backwards i.e "1912 Dec 1"

Honestly Ancestry, sort yourselves out. It's no wonder so many Ancestry trees are full of errors. If experienced researchers have problems, how on earth are beginners/novices meant to manage?

Another unintended consequence of Britain’s special relationship with the North Americans.
