Last night I corresponded with a man who had my gt-gt-grandmother on his tree. I suggested that he had recorded her as born and died in a different county from where she lived, although she consistently gave the correct place of birth in each census return. He had an image of a baptism entry from the wrong county and no name for the mother, despite the images for both the baptism and parents' marriage being available online.
Today he responded and thanked me for pointing out "errors" - and added that he would greatly welcome any more that I cared to point out, as he didn't have time to check the information on people he put on his tree, apart from his direct line. He said that if he spent time checking everything, then he would only have got about 300 people on his tree, rather than the 3,200 he now had entered.
Perhaps he has a point - If I spend time notifying him of all the other "errors" I'd seen, then I wouldn't have time to add to my own tree!
