Re: ancestry trees from "unknown"

Hugh-

We can only be responsible for information WE put in our GEDCOMs and
place online--we can't solve the problems of the world. There are
errors in books that have been there for hundreds of years and
continue to be perpetuated, and there are errors on the Internet and
there are good and bad researchers. Even good researchers make
errors in their files. We can't worry about the incorrrect
information that is out there--it has always been there and will
continue to be in the future. We can only make our own submitted
trees as accurate and complete as we can--the rest we can't really
worry about. If our info is "out there" then anyone can find it
along with the garbage files and make their own determination as to
what to believe.

Eagle...

I'm not satisfied to do that. In the interest of presenting correct
information I think we have a duty to identify the incorrect. By
not identifying the wrong information we help perpetuate it. I'll
not be a party to that.

Anyone who can determine what to believe probably doesn't need the
information in the first place.
