Also they will give you hints on records they have on some of your people which you can use as documentation in your tree but make sure it is the same person. Just don’t automatically copy what another has. If you decide to set your tree up on their website, they will give you “hints” on people that are in other family trees. There are errors in their transcriptions, particularly censuses, but when you view the original image you can have pity on the transcriber.
They have transcribed the records but you can view the original images. Not all records are online but the ones they have will save you travel money going to courthouses, state libraries etc all over the country. They have indexes to vital records(birth,marriage and death) of many U.S. They have land, military,immigration and other records. The 1940 and later are not available to the public yet.
Actually, if you disagree with information on one of your family members in another subscriber’s tree, they will tell you it is between you and the other subscriber.Īncestry.Com has all the U.S. You can make up an entirely fictitious family tree and it will be accepted by any genealogy website. The information can be useful as clues as to where to get the documentation. Then you will see the exact same info on the same people from different subscribers but that is no guarantee at all it is correct. You will see different info on the same people from different subscribers. They are mostly not documented or poorly documented. Most all have family trees including Ancestry.Com, but you should be cautious about them. I believe the best due to the total amount of original source records online is Ancestry.Com.
