I have seen some of the cemetery transcriptions I've used end up there with no credit at all to the people that worked so hard to canvas the cemetery and make the transcription available. When I find incorrect information there and cannot get a response from the person that created it I leave a flower and a note with the correct information.Charley "Apple" Grabowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07193646109965731249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4369519054620493278.post-48558512249191166742010-08-07T16:58:27.753-04:002010-08-07T16:58:27.753-04:00I share your frustration.

One of my great-grandmothers is getting spread through the internet as dying in France, yet I have her death certificate, obituary, taped interviews from 2 witnesses who were with her when she died, and a photograph of her tombstone, yet the key person will not correct the chain.<br /><br />I may have to write a piece on this in support, as it drives me crazy!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07073629327409479731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4369519054620493278.post-7158803529391306832010-08-07T13:47:14.626-04:002010-08-07T13:47:14.626-04:00Love your post, but oh what frustration!

I approach online trees from WorldConnect, Ancestry and anywhere else with great suspicion and a sprinkling of disdain. Psuedo-genealogists get on there with the idea "bigger is better" and copy and paste with flagrant abandon and errors get repeated over and over and over and over.....aarrrghhh! I won't say I haven't gotten some good info from time to time but I get so burned up when I see something that I know is incorrect and see it has been repeated 30 times; frustrating to say the least!Lisa Wallen Logsdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13003873811444854964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4369519054620493278.post-11075849614910928792010-08-07T09:23:31.098-04:002010-08-07T09:23:31.098-04:00AMEN AMEN AMEN!!!

The whole "I assume" and "maybe" and "whatever" attitude makes me crazy. I have a contact who assumed a relative was buried in a particular cemetery saying, "hey I assume he's buried there because it was close to his home". Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Sorry for yelling. Cheers!

I've also found relatives on FAG and gotten the response "I assume they are buried there". Hope the second contact doesn't read your blog....you may not get approved!
