The problem is we all share our ancestral family with countless people. |

Some times 'the hunt' can take you over - you spend ages tracking down a distant twig of a twig......just because you can! :-) |

I don't know how many names Kitty has on her tree now, but I wouldn't dream of claiming all of them, even though we found that we are distantly related. |

I don't trust too many of those Ancestry trees, since I know how extremely wrong some of them are. |

There are far more good trees on Ancestry than bad ones, but sadly we have all encountered the truly appalling ones on there. |

It did cross my mind that this person could be researching soldiers who died in WW1. |

The person with him in his tree could be related via a marriage. So the relationship could be very tenuous. |

I do look at the family my ancestors married into on the census as sometimes it turns out that 2 siblings married into the same family...........none of them seemed to want to leave Sussex and it wasn't highly populated back then, so it's hardly surprising. |

My reason for regarding Ancestry trees with suspicion: My sister, whose father (and mine) was b 1899, is alleged to have m a man b 1723. Sister and our dad are both in a lot of the trees. Many of the owners of the trees don't want to know, some say they are on x number of trees so it must be right. Totally innumerate. |
