when first doing my tree i want down the rong branch
2 poeple with the same name same date of birth
it wasent till i got a birth cert that i could see i had the rong family

so please do your own checks befor you copy of other peoples tree even if thay are family members aways best to duble check

You might also like to look at the thread

"Should I contact this person??"

which discusses some of the issues when copying details from members trees.

Hi Wendy,

It's always recommended that you just don't copy names without checking that they are correct first. Many places had families with the same names etc.

I learnt that lesson after copying someone's tree and it was totally wrong. It took ages to put it all right.

Always verify that you have the correct family first.....you may need certificates and so on to prove things.

To have more than one tree open just right click on "my tree"
"open in new window"

Hi - is there a quick and easy way to add a line of descendents or ancestors from someone else's tree or do I ahve to copy and paste individually. Also is there a way to have 2 trees open at the same time
Thanks
