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

I don't use
Ancestry.com so I'm not familiar with this database. Anyone
know what the nature of it is? Is it simply GEDCOMs people have uploaded
or something more?
