Ireland / Re: Coyne family help needed
« on: Saturday 12 August 23 03:37 BST (UK) »You need to check yourself if the information on that site is correct, I just looked at the two Margaret's and Richard's death.
The Margaret baptism's are correct
1806 https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000633302#page/54/mode/1up right hand page
1809 https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000633303#page/9/mode/1up left hand page
1873 death of Richard gives his age as 60
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1873/020697/7261638.pdf (you need to sign in and prove your not a robot) which if the age is correct would give him a later birth year, death ages are often incorrect. The quality of the image is terrible, not sure who the informant was.
Lot more checks needed on the information from that site.
The site was made and is run by a relation of my grandmother. He's been working on it for years. She's told me that he's travelled around researching his family tree and has reached out to relations around the world. He talked with her to ask about her side of the family. So I think some of the information he's put in the tree has been from family knowledge as well as from old letters and things. Not everything on that site can be checked.
I understand that it's important not to take everything at face value. As you said, even the records have misinformation. To be honest I don't trust anything in my family tree haha
