I can just see this leading to even more errors as people will think all the trees are correct as there is a DNA match.
The world and his wife have taken a mistranscription on Family Search as being true, so have my distant ancestor erroneously married to Jane Small. My tree is correct. I have made a separate tree for Jane Small. I have made notes on my tree.

Ancestry is still suggesting Jane as an ancestor.
