I have just looked through some hints and was amused to see this lady born in 1793 married in 1814 and had her last child in 1865, why do people do that ?and it looks like quite a few have copied her.

Some people seem to accept all the hints without a thought! They are only supposed to be 'hints' after all and one is required to actually look at the record before being able to attach it. I've seen loads of trees with lists of conflicting records such as having children in the USA and England at exactly the same moment. Quite a feat!! LOL

The MailOnLine had the same story earlier this week about the Indian lady of 70 ........... but they seemed to give another reason for the IVF treatment to The Times
It seems that there is likely to be a nasty family battle about a major inheritance if they die without issue. So she had a babyMy grandmother, on the beach, South Bay, Scarborough, undated photo (poss. 1929 or 1930)

Some people download whole trees of thousands from others and then upload all the data to their own tree. This can result in the data being corrupted and muddled, but as they've added so many people all at once, they don't even attempt to check any of it for errors.
Most of us, however, would add one person at a time, checking all the events as we do so.

I've recently uploaded a tree to Ancestry for reasons of preservation in the future. I'm finding the hints very useful as I check through EVERY PERSON on the tree to attach them to records. The hints save me the time of searching for each census or PR entry. HOWEVER I do still look at every census or other image I attach to make sure its the one I did already find when I was doing the original research.
So far I have been doing this for 6 months on a nearly daily basis and have reached 'P' in the alphabetical list. I still have two more trees to do in this way so it should keep me off the streets for a while!
Sometimes, annoyingly, I am working too quickly for Ancestry to produce any hints .... then I have to find them myself and then later the hint comes up! Well, thanks, I've already got it! LOL

One of the public trees I've come across on Ancestry had my grandmother married to her father-in-law, who died about twenty years before she married his son. When I messaged the tree owner to point out the marriage was incorrect, she replied saying that she was fairly adamant it was indeed correct, as an Ancestry hint had pointed towards the marriage being on no less than three other public family trees. I mentioned this to my mother, who found it quite amusing. When I replied to the lady whose tree it was and dryly explained that my mother would probably have remembered this occurrence, she never replied. The last time I checked, the tree hadn't been corrected.Eighteen -- Hadleigh, Suffolk; Reading, Berkshire
