I am new to genealogy and have found out this problem the hard way. When I joined ancestry.com and viewed the trees I found so many obvious mistakes! How can a father be dead before his sons's death, etc. etc. I now realize I need to document most everything on my own, because I never know what is actual truth. In the very beginning, I was researching lines that weren't my own because I took these trees as "fact". How silly of me! And how frustrating for the people who spend hours, like I myself do now, searching for the truth so that our ancestors are remembered with care, for the details of their lives.
