I have been using ancestory to research but using records. In my 24 hours on ancestory I have found some of my Relatives recorded as being born in New Zealand whilst living in Northumberland due to a mispelling of Northumberland in a census (Northland). Some of the generations get muddled in the side i'm researching at the moment but I am relying on records that I have found.
In one such tree Noah Gurman has a death recorded after Fred Gurman was born. However, this seems to be complete fiction because there is no source cited, no record of his death anywhere let alone his existence after his marriage to Selina in 1886.
