[quote=Anonymous]If you are doing genealogy, don't rely on any information you find on Ancestry or elsewhere that isn't backed up with documentation (census record, birth certificate, marriage document, immigration records, will...). These get much harder to find pre-1800. Half the stuff on Ancestry is made up--people see someone with the same name and copy over a whole tree. You need the documents with dates and parent/spouse/children's names to make sure you've got the right person. At least half the family trees people have compiled on ancestry are wrong once you get back to the 1800s. [/quote]
