Well this quite literally "hot off the press".I've just spotted some vital info  this morning regarding a daughter of my Greatx3-Grandfather from Bagillt's first marriage.The info appeared on a Tree on of all places Family Search.

I'm wondering whether I should ignore the info as it is not quite so easy to contact the owner of these Trees?I think most certainly not!

I'm not particularly fussy how I acquire genuine info about my ancestors!

How do you know it is genuine though unless you contact them to find out where the information came from?

I never take info as read from anyone's Tree.I always seek to verify it from available records.In the case of this morning though it does look highly promising!

You don't have to ask anyone on Ancestry about using their information. Some people on this thread are trying to impose a code of conduct that doesn't exist on Ancestry. People can use whatever they want that's available on Ancestry.

Well when I see a poster with that amount of names that they are tracing first I think I am dealing with a women, as they much more than men trace all the female lines and so are researching everybody in the entire world before they know it,along with that they have to use trees that are online,because the size of the task even with computers and the internet is nearly impossible,what the other posters on this thread have been saying is that many people grab a part of their tree and then shoehorn it into their own under researched tree and then they in turn put it on the net,and of course the same thing happens when somebody else does the same thing,before long it is all complete nonsense,nobody minds people asking to use part of their tree,but should understand that their tree should have enough research done to make sure it is the line they want and be willing to answer questions,many people now think family history should be a race to be completed in a week or so and to that end they do not reply to questions and react badly to corrections

Apart from being incorrect, I think quite a few members of this forum are going to find the beginning of your post offensive

In fact without one of each, we're snookered  ;D ;D  No lines at all  :'(  ;D

What a very odd thing to say - why wouldn't you trace both lines? Surely you don't have a tree that consists only of males with their wives thrown in as an aside?
