About Millennium File

Information about the Millennium File from Ancestry.com:

The Millennium File is a database created by the Institute of Family Research to track the records of its clients and the results of its professional research. It contains more than 880,000 linked family records, with lineages from throughout the world, including colonial America, the British Isles, Switzerland, and Germany. Many of these lineages extend back to nobility and renowned historical figures. In fact, one of the things the Millennium File focuses on is linking to European nobility and royalty.

Usage Tips

Note that the records themselves in this database are not sourced, the Institute of Family Research is not apparently in business currently and has no internet presence more recent than 1983, and that the "records of its clients" could be anything, including "Uncle Bill's" wild speculation. In short, this database is no more reliable than any other user-submitted database available online, and should not be cited except on a short-term basis or when other sources have been exhausted.
