Subject: RE: BS: Genealogists and Wannabes
Having done a reasonable amount of family research may I add to the comment that John quotes in italics - if you are going to share make sure it's right. I've spent lots of hours following family trees that are hugely inaccurate but have been published 'as fact'... people with over 20 children several born within a few months of each other etc, just because they have the same family name. Trouble is, anyone else researching that 'family' then assumes because someone else has done the work it is correct and so it gets compounded.

Do share, but make sure it's right.
