I'm so sick of ancestry equating my family with other people and families that have nothing in common.
Sometimes the only information that matches, is the name of the person!? The birth/marriage/death info, parents, spouse and children is often all wrong, so not the same person....some are even 100 yrs or more out! And quite often the people it "matches" yours with were from other countries!
You have an option to integrate the information from other trees into your own, but you can't delete or ignore trees that don't match.....maybe they should enable this. With some kind of rating system for information in said trees, as sometimes half the info is incorrect about the family, but wrong family members have been attached....
I think they should change the way they search their databases for you in hints too. If you don't have any information on an individual, but you have birth years for kids in say 1690's, then obviously their parents won't appear in the census of 1881....so maybe change the algorithym to search based of birth dates of spouse and kids too.
