I almost never look at Ancestry to view the trees uploaded there (and I've had a sub for almost 20 years and use the site most days!) - I use Ancestry to look at records. I have really only looked at a lot of trees since I did a DNA test.
If you want to produce an accurate tree of your own family then looking at other people's trees isn't really the way to go - much more satisfying to research it yourself and only look at trees if you are really stuck and then check every so-called fact!

Haven't looked at any other trees yet, I have library access to FMP census returns but didn't dive in for a full FMP or Ancestry membership because what I was researching was so slight. It's taken me 10 years to find my gt gt grandfather's place of birth, and I may have tracked down his father, but things get very vague after that in the heart of Victorian London, if you are chasing a comparatively popular surname. Add to that, I believe there may be a Traveller element in this branch of the family which makes things even more difficult - Travellers do not really like to have themselves documented ~ as Travellers.
