I struggle with putting my own tree out there because I don't feel I have researched it fully yet even after 20 odd years Some ancestors are really well fleshed out (and I turned them into talks) but others not Online newspapers and parish registers are making a real difference #genealogy
And now I've inherited photo albums from my in-laws so I'm concentrating on C20th and photos and my memories to supplement the bare documentation before it is too late I think I have about another 25 years of #genealogy research still to do 😹
Agree with you in general but...
Just tried that one out with Ancestry 549 hits in public trees for my 13xGGF born c1509 but to be fair he is very well documented (being the father of an Elizabethan poet) and this is the UK #genealogy
And out of the first 10 trees I have looked at 8 contain factual errors even the ones with more than 5 sources and that is for his own entry and family members! #genealogy I think many have been copied from other trees surprise surprise 😹
And it all gets too depressing #genealogy especially when one of the quoted sources the Dictionary of National Biography online at Ancestry I know from my own research and that of academics to be inaccurate
