I don't mind giving or receiving information, after all why re-invent the wheel, but try to follow the principles:
Always make a note of the source of any entry on my tree.
Wherever possible verify by reference to GRO record, census, etc. and note that on the tree entry.
Until it has been verified by myself I don't rely on its accuracy.

I always check any info myself
Before adding anything to my tree
I like proof

Though i do follow leads given to me by other peoples trees :-D :-D

Like Hilary, I had someone on here try to copy my tree.
What's really annoying, is that I was sending him info on my dad's stepdad - no relation whatsoever to me, and definitely nothing to do with my mum, however, he took what he could - and 'presumed' peoples places of birth - so it's useless info anyway.
I hadn't 'opened' my tree for him to see - it was a GR glitch.

Somewhere, there's probably a tree that has Hilary and I as cousins :-S

I like proof too, like anybody else. but unfortunately I don't have the money to buy 10 thousand certificates for that proof so I kind of have to sort of trust what I get/find to true

pout

As I said I would love to have the money to buy a heap of certificates, mostly to get witness names for marriages and the cause of death for many rellies.

I look at some public trees and choke, not with laughter but with annoyance. I know my ancestor married one woman, had children, she died and he then married one of her sisters and had more children. People who have first sister in the tree have not researched her properly and she doesn't die until.....errrrr when? well she doesn't..her first name is changed to her sister's to tie in with that death. Accurate? Yeah right.
