Ancestry trees

[jettejjane]

But it's a hobby and people take from it what they will....if no harm is being done...what does it matter. As long as you do the research and make sure your tree is accurate and has supporting evidence then what is the problem?
Some people will always take their hobby more seriously than others....and...there are many housebound and lonely people out there and building bushes, trees or forests are what fills their lives.
Just live and let live...you're a long time dead

Quite right. I just like a controversial discussion. But it still bugs me and will continue to do so. That's just how i feel. Yes live and let live, that applies to me as well. All I say is its  my opinion and I would not deign to say anyone should share it.

"but the fun of research is proving people are yours"

That's what YOU find fun.  But you aren't the last word on fun.  Other people may differ.

There used to be a argument with member submitted trees on the LDS website, some of which went all the way back to Adam and Eve. Apparently LDS church members got more points in the religion if they had lots of names in their tree, so if they found a name that vaguely fiitted, it was added, never mind checking for accuracy or anything.

That says it all Lisa!!! Don't know about you but the fun of research is proving people are yours, not just taking them from other trees! Any fool can do that.

Exactly!  A friend of mine has just started, and I've seen them blindly copy from ancestry trees. I have explained that they're not necessarily accurate, and maybe just use them as a possible line of research to be checked out and proved or otherwise for yourself. And to come onto rootschat if you're stuck!

Quite right. I AM  NOT THE LAST WORD ON FUN. Other people differing is what makes the world go around. How awful and boring if would be if we all agreed on everything.How many times do I hAve to say this is only what I think. So can I ask why you feel the need to censure me and reply the way you did?  Not n necessary.

I think possibly her final four words my explain it Jane.  Maybe that is what fun means to some, but then I'm only guessing.  You continue with your way of thinking.
