I have not sorted out these particular anomalies but I have learned over the years to
download others information and then use it as a point to begin my own research, hoping it
will point me in the right direction. Everything you download is suspect, even from here.
That is why it is so important to go to primary sources.
Several years ago I found that someone had downloaded some of my family information,
changed the name of my mother-in-law's husband, moved her to a different state, and
deleted my husband and his brothers from the tree. It made it all work for her
"family tree" but it wasn't correct.
Always be cautious and if you haven't found it in a primary source or a good secondary
source, be suspicious.
I have Carr's in my family tree but I actually haven't able to get them
"across the pond" yet although I am working on that! Good luck in your
research.
