Hello,
I just wonder if you find sometimes, that people allow you to view their tree, but it has mistakes in it. I don't have a specific example in mind, but I have in the past found I disagree with info, usually marriages to the 'wrong' person, and therefore the wrong children.
My questions are, how often does it happen, what do you do about it, is it reason to doubt my faily well verrified research?
Note - where I have a marriage on a tree, I have usually got hold of the certificate or the parrish record to link it to the next generation.

Thanks for your thoughts!
Andrew
