Hi Davecapps,

OH my goodness... what a connection.

To me this appears to be quite a valid connection. Cannot see why it would not be the same family and part of the family I am looking at.   

Schovskie was recorded as a Tailor, as father of Adeline.  So that also fits besides the obvious name connections.
I know this is them but I am still haunted by this Mexico statement and I don't know who originally put that online.  It sounds awfully incorrect. Especially after all that has beenpound by you and others here.
 A big thank you is required and given here. I really mean that. I would not find this information alone.

It should be mentioned that there is an auto fill in function on Ancestry

So for example if I type in Halifax it could fill in Halifax Canada without me noticing when I want Halifax England

I suspect the Mexican mistake came from the town there being recognized on auto fill and the person completing not noticing

Many such mistakes occur on trees with individuals appearing to switch countries.

Hi Brigidmac,

Thanks for the idea there. It could be anything but it is odd that more than one tree owner has copied it, or has the same weird information.

In any case this thread proves that to be incorrect.  So I will ignore it.
Davecapps:   Will send email.
Thankyou both.
