Chill out!  You just gotta laugh!  Why worry about it? .

Someone has me on a My Heritage tree married to my father!  And our children are my brothers!  My darling Mum doesn't even get a look in!  So what!  Not my problem!

Also several other crazy connections!  Just makes me laugh!  Their loss, not mine! Why worry! 
It's their money that's been wasted!

So agree jaybelnz, if I worried about every misstep/error that people made I'd be crazier than
I am already am.

I do laugh  and although when I see errors it bugs me I don't worry about it. Perhaps I should re-evaluate some of my comments. I don't want to fall out with anyone We all differ somewhat with our views and how we approach our research.

It's ok Jeanne I am chilled-call me sub-zero. My tree is accurate that's all that matters at the end of the day.

All good Jane, we all get annoyed, no doubt about that, but I say ....if they've got it wrong - their problem not mine  .   I take my annoyances out on the weeds that are harder to get rid of in my garden!  Once I've mangled them and sprayed any remains with weed killer, they've gone! 😄😄

And I really do love DB's logo! 

Cheers

Most enjoyable thread although somewhat disconcerting to discover that my son and I are both reincarnations of Isabella I of Castille .....
As to trees on the Internet that appear wildly inaccurate - leads me to reflecting on what I think I know is accurate on my tree (which sits quietly on my computer). All I really know is that Joe appears to have been brought up by Bob.  Bob is listed on the census in a way that indicates he is the father of Joe. Bob is listed on the baptism register as the father of Joe. All data and documents indicate that Bob is the biological father but how do I really know what Mary (the mother) was really up to nine months before the birth of her son, Joe? I don't. All I can really deduce is that there is a pretty high probability that Bob is the biological father and clear documentation that he was the "nurturing" father.

That is very true, Cocksie. None of us can say with 100% certainty that our tree is accurate, it is just as accurate as we think we can get it from the information available. Just one little slip up by an ancestor along the way could mean that, unknown to us, we end up following the wrong father.

Genealogy is supposed to be a hobby and a hobby is something you do for fun and enjoyment. The day it makes me really cross, annoyed, upset etc is the day I stop doing it. I have now reached the stage when I know that nothing said on here, or other genealogical forums, will change the minds of people who have have wrong information on their trees. After all those people are so convinced they are right that they probably don't participate in forums, or if they do, they don't think what is being said applies to them .

I see your point.

Perhaps the Ancestry arborist's are living in the third dimention.
