Family talk:Duncan Mcfarland and Anne McGrigore (1)


Silly - GIGO [21 August 2011]

I guess that this site has a robot that picks up everything off familysearch, and lord knows where and throws it up on this site as "true". In the first place this "Duncan or Daniel" (1747-1800 in SCT) has a son named Nathan born in 1712? Idiots. And worse yet this Nathan is born in the US. AND it turns out, or appears as if, this McFarland info was taken of Ancestry.com...worse yet as people throw junk on Ancestry.com then everyone uses it and it goes around and soon it is quoted a gospel by eberyone and his brother. This is a case of Grabage In and Garbage OUt if ever there was one.--Crzypopmac 21:32, 20 August 2011 (EDT)

What is nice about a wiki is that you can edit the misinformation yourself and add sources to improve the page. This site gathers no person information via a robot, this would have been uploaded via an individual gedcom. --Jennifer (JBS66) 06:21, 21 August 2011 (EDT)

OK maybe I was a little harsh there...but I will not take back anything I noted about FamSearch/Ancestry/RootsWeb, just because something is stated there ...like it says in the song..."It ain't necessarily so"...I seldom see fully footnoted and referenced research...it ain't research if you throw it up on the web and then in your footnote say "I saw it on ancestry.com"...sorry my standards are a little higher than that.--Crzypopmac 15:50, 21 August 2011 (EDT)

My standards are higher too, as are many of the active users here at WeRelate. WR has more controls in place since this particular gedcom was imported (checks for duplicates, improbable dates, etc). We like users with high standards :-) I hope you find the site a good platform for your work! --Jennifer (JBS66) 16:07, 21 August 2011 (EDT)
