I think some people just download large trees from various folk, which they then immediately upload and add on to their own online tree. Apart from the fact that sometimes the data gets mangled in the process and it would be a very daunting task to sort it out, I suspect they don't even bother to go through all the hundreds or thousands of individuals added this way to check the new facts showing on their tree.
Big is beautiful and all that!

I think a lot believe that if it is on ancestry, or if they get an ancestry link, that it MUST be true .......... and they pay no attention.
That's why I'm wondering about the hints that FMP is seemingly sending .......... I don't have a tree on FMP, but maybe I should put a small one on there to see what happens.
I thank my lucky stars that the guy who appropriated my gt aunt and uncle married in 1902 to be the parents of children born ca 1820-30 was receptive to the note I left on his tree pointing out the error!
The only difference between the parents he was looking for and my relatives was the date of birth ........... same names, all born in Lancashire, all emigrated to Newark, NJ soon after the marriage (apparently in his case). Mine also didn't have any children that he could match upMy grandmother, on the beach, South Bay, Scarborough, undated photo (poss. 1929 or 1930)

That is like everyone believing that William Chapman's father is Sir Arthur De Champernowne- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Champernowne
Sir Arthur is related to Kat Ashley in someway and apparently her son Sir Walter Raleigh did apparently have a cousin named William Chapman but where is the proof? More than 50 trees seem to be of the belief that it is true but when I found a Will for the one they seemed to think was William I had it transcribed- no proof at all.Lennon. Phillips. Thomas. Peacock. Tubridy. Burton.
I am the girl from that town & I'm darn proud of it.
