A couple of months subs to Ancestry has really opened my eyes to the complete and utter garbage that most Ancestry trees are.


On my Skillings line, quite a bit of the info looks as if it came from me originally (though I know that someone else was researching the family pre 1970s)


Unfortunately, Ancestry's hints have created chaos in some of the trees, the sources for which are that vast pool of data from trees which Ancestry has snaffled.

Part of me would like to put the record straight. The other part doesn't want the precious data that I spent years beavering away, poring over original documents to discover, to be taken by a subscription service.

I have absolutely no intention of putting my tree on Ancestry, since most of the information that took so long to gather is now available online and free for anyone who has the patience to find it.
