Thanks Trystan. I agree a nice healthy discussion/ debate or just a chat is what this site is all about.

What I was trying to say badly earlier about previous postings on the same subject  is that not everyone,  especially newcomers may have seen those other  posts.  Also if people are fed up with the repetition of this subject  why are those same people  joining in this one?  I am joining in because I want to and find it interesting. 

No way am I blaming Ancestry for the mistakes in trees it is the tree owner who is (in my opinion) at fault for lack of research.

I don't know about 'junk' trees Trystan, but the one mentioned by Mike in his opening post boasts 1/3 million people.  Over 300,000 updates every day!  Now I don't believe a single person could possibly manage that on his own so who is helping?    Of course, as usual I stand to be corrected by some expert or other.

The 300,000 updates a day could possibly suggest that it's an automated thing?

1/3 million people = about 300,000 people.
The tree is updated everyday.

Just checked the tree owner's profile, the head count is now up to 366,980! And he/she has logged in today so heaven knows how many more will be added tomorrow.
Already several generations before Alfred the Great!

Lizzie they will be back to Jesus in a few days.

OK Alexander, I take your point.

Still, creating a tree of 366980 people in 7 1/2 years is still some feat, no matter how many daily updates there are.

1000s of records, photographs, stories.  Must not sleep.

With you there LizzieL 

And you Jane

Just remember, we are all related in one way or another. Just, some are more distant than others.

Here, here msr   There is another line to add to that small minds comment but wouldnt dare mention it here. I am on my best behaviour. Hard for me but had my wrists slapped too often in here so it's a new me. For how long
