I have decided after a long time to put my tree onto the website of the above. I am only putting my deceased ancestors and would like to ask a question,. Having put my known lineage up to a certain date, it appears to fill out with details wihich are also known to me, so far so good. Now my know line goes back to 1550 but this tree on above site has added information going way back to 1455,,, very interesting but how reliable is all of this.. Thanks |

Just watch out that members of LDS do not acquire your family members and add them to the data base of the church so they can be "saved". |

It's an interesting point so I have just had a look for my family on there, someone has added my grandfather, wife and two of the children...but why not the rest of the children? They have also added the spouse and family of one of those children, my grandparents, and my 2 uncles but not my mother? ...but I don't have any link to the person that has added them. |

I am lost as to how to find the person who has added my relatives, shirt of emailing the email address which is all the info they give, they have a name which doesn't show up in England so assume USA? The only one that I can find with that name, in USA, works in a US correctional facility.....would there be a roaring trade in getting prisoners to collate info and add the trees to FS? :-S |

None of my immediate ancestors went to Australia in the 1840s and 1850s, it was siblings in 2 generations ................ a brother J and sister H went out in the mid-1850s following their uncle who had gone out in the 1840s, all were already married and had family. The brother and sister went out on an "assisted agricultural" programme. I don't know about the uncle. |

The LDS will 'baptise' any ancestor on their website to the Mormon Church. |

I use the site only for the RECORDS section, pay no attention at all now to the family trees or "contributed" information (aka made up) |
