A very distant cousin contacted me and I allowed her access to my tree.
She reciprocated, and I thought no more of it, but was surprised this week to see that one of my direct ancestors appeared in a hot match, but many others didn't.
Investigating, she has decorated her xmas tree with a few names here, a few names there. If one birth date were correct, the lady would have been 3 when she married, and dead when she bore five children.
My poor ancestor, although details are on the IGI, is rammed into the wrong family, despite his parents names being entirely different.
When the errors are so wanton & blatant, is it worth querying them?
(Trouble is, her recent tree tidies up entries in the GRO which hadn't made sense to me before, so I don't want to go in all guns blazing!)
