I do not trust any of the sites information, until I verify someone with a birth, death, marriage, personal knowledge of, will, probate, property, obit, or other valid record.

I keep 2 sets of books. The internet sites give me a possible and even probable match. Then, I verify. Else, it cannot be trusted. I found books, 12 inches thick and proved them wrong. It is so easy to make a mistake, and the internet is full of them.

I believe that most people are posting what they think is correct, and it may be. What I am saying is do not trust it without proof.

I can prove my Scottish roots up to about 1600, only because I can read the copies of the OPR (parish records). But past that, there are not the links of the parents names with their birth dates, so, I don't do anything except conjecture. I think, I can go back to 1400 or so, but have not sufficient proof.

I trust the Vital Records sites, because you order a record. I trust Ellis Island because it is a legal document of immigration. I trust SSA (social Security administration). The Mayflower society can be trusted because they demand proof.

I love Family Search, but even they cannot be trusted.
