Thank you ancestry.co.uk .

That's delightful Will.

Much as I hate rain and slush, however, I have to pour some
cautious cold water on it. As an experienced amateur
genealogist, I always advise people not to trust anything found
in any tree published on Ancestry, FamilySearch, MyHeritage and
similar sites.

Tell me about it!

Some of the trees on these sites are meticulously
researched, but others are arrant or even malicious fantasies.
Use them as a pointer for your own research, but don't believe
it without checking.

I always see if I can verify their research before importing anything
from someone else's tree.
