It is very exciting when you see that a name you are searching for appears in half a dozen trees on Ancestry BUT please check what you find there before adding to your tree and being taken in the wrong direction entirely. |

Rose, I couldn't agree more. Many people just click and 'add to your tree' without even thinking about it or looking at the actual image. |

The Ancestry computer does not like us to put in a place name,such as Rochester,without further identification.It will automatically select an American place and it is up to the individual to correct it. |

not at all correct Satnav lol, also Norfolk Massachusetts...instead of Norfolk UK...I realise it is the computers' selection...but the people who have added it must surely see it at some point . |

Reading this it is easy to get the impression that it is the fault of Ancestry that members enter rubbish info on their trees. It is not Ancestry's fault that someone selects Boston Mass instead of Boston Lincs. |
