RootsWeb And ID Numbers

[AndrewJPAS]

Having found some information on a RootsWeb WorldConnect tree that is common to my research, I have been trying to verify some of the birth dates that have been listed.

I have tried IGI, Ancestry etc but cannot get the exact birth date that has been listed, just a possible quarter of the year.

one for example is this

Baptism: 27 JUN 1880 Inskip, Lancashire, England
Note: ID Number: 11523 Ancestry.com

How do i use that ID Number to obtain more info, any help appreciated

cheers

I think the only way would be to try and contact the tree owner?
There is usually an email contact address at the top of the page? The id number might be generated by Ancestry or by the owner of the tree?

To find out more about the birth you would have to obtain the birth certificate ?

I think newbie is right the ID No that appears next to the subjects name is a number generated by the tree programme - it looks as though the tree owner has found the baptism somewhere but may not know the actual birth date...you would need to contact them for more information -
