Its well established that there are amongst those 'looking for bones' some who have other agendas. Why and what to do about them is too big a topic. However, it goes to reinforce good advice: check, recheck and check again - never rely on one 'authority' and do not rely just on Ancestry - humans supply what Ancestry offers and humans err.

I personally do not see Genealogy as an exact science but as a pathway strewn with obstacles just waiting to trip one up. This is due in part to our 'esteemed' ancestors who we spend so much time exploring. Who's nuts?
