Making contact with a DNA match, I went back to my offline tree.
How glad I am that:
- It is offline
- Individuals are assigned unique identifying numbers
Whenever I put the information into the tree (probably on PAF and twenty odd years ago) I managed to conflate a man and his nephew.
Or possibly when I merged two trees a few years back
This is down (I excuse myself!) with two individuals having the same year of burial, and no baptism in the expected parish.
Go on, admit your own folly, please! I begin to feel I should go through each ancestor now, as this is unlikely to be the only mistake.
I won't be so smug about Ancestry trees in future!
