Don't get me wrong, I love the historical documents and the factual data available on Ancestry.com, but I have found so much obiviously wrong data on family trees I've searched that they are of absolutely no use to me.

Several years ago I made my family data available. Much to my dismay I found errors as I continued my research but was unable to edit my data online. To add to the frustration Ancestry tried to help me by adding possible family members.

Just recently I found a mess of my family with my grandfather listed as his older brother's father and the birth and death dates of my grandmother, his wife. To add to this the father listed for my grandfather is one that Ancestry appended years ago, has a totally different last name, and was born 120 years before the listed birthday of my grandfather. Who, by the way is, shown 9 years younger than his listed son, remember, his older brother.

I know that this tree was just accepted as fact, after all it's on the internet, and entered into the family tree software of the user. If this kind of junk keeps up no one will ever use these trees.

Beyond my Sicilian, only share with family, bent, it makes me crazy because I have found family from things they've put on the web, but I don't want to share anything because of the trash that it becomes. These are people who lived, loved, worked and died and I am here because of them. I speak their names with reverence, I tell their tales so they are not forgotten, they have a history and we should respect them and get their information correct!
