Hi,
I am the same.  On Ancestry there are many families who claim the same forebears as me, but what I can't understand is that once in a while one of these people have completely different people than the majority who all agree as to births, deaths, marriages etc and you would think they would see this and try to see where they had gone wrong - though I suppose they think they are correct and we are wrong.  Bev

I have found on ancestry a number of people with the same tree and one that is different.  The one is the same as mine.  On contacting some with the wrong tree I find that they have all copied their tree from ancestry and not done any research to verify it.  The rule is quite simple: Do your own research and only use others to verify and add minor details to what you have found
