Ahhhh I'm losing my mind!

3. Unfortunately, we still see too many assuptions/mistakes made today,

made possible by the promotion and easy access to data on sites such as ancestry.com.

Too many who have no idea of what research entails and should be done simply copy the first census or online family tree they see, without confirming the validity by other means.

Because of early mortality in earlier days, confirmation of maternity is a necessity when researching generations unknown to us.

I try to contact - politely and pleasantly- those who've made obvious errors in my direct line, but, even then, sometimes get a little pushback, though others are grateful for the correction.
If the problem is in a line not directly connected to mine, and perhaps closer in lineage to the one who submits it, I usually fel I don't have much standing and let it go.
