Not tree rubbish, just rubbish.
Have they been taken over by a Scandinavian outfit?   
When I looked at my hints just now, they all look like this.
(William actually came from Stourport, Worcs.)

Did you accidently change your settings to Swedish !
It's such a logical language ...can be useful as your grandfatherstatus are either morsfar or farsfar greathe grandparents get to be mors farfare
Or combinations of far and mor
 My" fars fars fars  "was Scottish
I wonder what they say for 6 generation relatives

Language .change happened to me on FB  but never on Ancestry. .and I think I'd accidently changed the settings

I have a couple of trees on Ancestry for sharing data. I don't normally use their "Lifestory" view, so I was surprised when I glanced at it to see map markers in the USA for someone who spent their entire life in the Midlands of England.
I am pedantic about filling in the Country when attaching records, so I knew my data was correct.
Scrolling down, I found that Ancestry have plain ignored the contents of the records when writing their "story".

Yep

I have this happen (I think we all do)  ---   I have ploughed through and sadly found the fault is often something simple --

I like you am Pendantic about the POB etc.. but hidden amongts the infinite details it may show Hinckley (in my case) without specifically UK.. NOT DOWN to me.. but to some transcription or other..   it took me ages to discover these 'hidden' mistakes.. that I wondered if they were a PLOY......

so that the whole kit and caboodle ends up from USA ... if you get me...

I will see if I still have an example.. later

well

just now they are not showing and it is not until you need to check that I actually read the Life story page...

so

all I have for now is the attached.

the best way to sort probs is (if you had DNA test)  go to your ethnicity page and it shows you a few people in strange places.. then you can put them in proper place.

I thought that I'd have a go at fixing things at my end.
I downloaded a GEDCOM, edited it to replace the "Residence" tags with appropriate "Census 1xy1" tags and uploaded as a fresh tree.
The initial person in the tree was fixed - he had Pennsylvania, Missouri and Connecticut on the previous version
So I went to his father. No mention of US places anywhere in the text, but Alaska and Connecticut are still marked on the map!
 

I've reported it as a problem. I doubt that they will fix anything.
