Isn't that incredible flashie... all that information starting with just a name and a date - not even the right name. That's brilliant dective work 🙂
When I joined Ancestry I thought it was a good idea to pay into the USA site as well in case there were more hints there. I wish I hadn't as so often their 'facts' are wrong and it leads to so many mistakes.
I won't be doing that again.
Just be careful of anything you find that takes you to USA check and double check before accepting hints from them too.
As someone said to me recently, Americans pay big dollars to find out if they have rellies that are famous or reknown at all and some geneologists will 'adapt' a tree to suit the customer, so it's worthwhile to be on the alert.
Today I am chasing up the hints of about 500 people I haven't yet got to.
When you think we have
2 parents
4 grandparents
8 great grandparents
16 gg grandparents
32 ggg grandparents
64 gggg grandparents...
They all mount up pretty quickly and before long you have a stadium full of them :^O
