Now that I have a scanner I will be scanning all my certs and copies of Parish Reg and censuses so I can share them with other people. I dont expect them to take my word for it that I have the cert/whatever and it says..... |

Thanks everyone. I know that I want to start asking for copies, just didnt know how it would be received. But now I see that I shouldnt worry about it. |

I found a huge tree that linked into mine... I was very excited and when I asked about certificates etc I was told most of it was taken off the latter day saints site. |

I have to treat it as gospel truth because im 13 and parents wont let me research if the family have done it. |

I think Karen its a sort of rites of passage for family genealogists - you start off trying not to buy certs, you add on everything you are given and you forget to put in sources. |

In the begining I never questioned any information i was given, but have become more and more questioning, and now want proof of everything! |

I really wont from now on! Especially as I now have to re-visit my entire tree and double check my own research aswell. |

I think you have now just found out that it is always best to confirm info yourself and not to take what someone else says a gospel |

After discovering that I may have been too trusting with other peoples research, (now am re-going over 10 years worth) am I within my rights to question peoples sources and ask to see certificates etc that they have as proof? |
