of all the trees on Ancestry, OneWorldTree is the first and foremost

NOT TO TRUST!!! Ancestry created it in order to be "helpful". as an example,
you can look at my genealogica tree.
oh, I raged at them when I saw it. they took my data from my Rootsweb tree,
stuck it in OWT without asking permission, and jambed totally unrelated
people that I never had in my tree
onto it. and they've done that to hundreds of peoples trees, mangling them
irrevocably, and they refuse to remove OWT, or even make corrections even
though lots of people have
complained. never, ever use OneWorldTree. EVER! you'll get some really bad
data out of it. far better to do the actual document research yourself, and
not even glance at OWT because it
can misdirect you terribly.
at least, look for individual's trees at WorldConnect, Ancestry (other than
OWT) or in people's personal websites online. then you can figure out how
accurate the tree is and what you
should do from that point on.
