I contacted someone about his Ancestry tree to point out two wrong paths he had taken.
This was his reply: "Thanks for notifying me of my "errors" and I am more than happy for you to notify me of any other mistakes I have made. I wouldn't be surprised if there are many others, given that apart from my maternal/paternal lines. I don't thoroughly check every person's details are 100% correct, or I would only have 300 people in my tree instead of the 3500+ I currently have. Thanks once again and have a nice day."
I think the tree holder is probably married to the daughter of a deceased cousin of mine as I recognised the forename and surname of his wife, and the distinctive details of my cousin, but was confused by the addition of three middle initials for the wife - MMW. However, having read some of the asides on his tree, it seems MMW is "My Miss World."
And no, I'm a meany and so I'm not going to sort out all the errors. Late cousin's father has always been a bit of a mystery man and I was delighted to see that the tree holder had added some parents for him. However, it doesn't make sense. But now I know his approach to doing his tree I am happy to just dismiss what he has put.
