    Member tree sources are very often other member trees, so you never know where the original source was or where it came from. On the rare occasion I've looked at member trees, almost every time when I've sent a message to the tree owner about how they came by information, they'll tell me "I found it on another family tree". About the only thing I use them for now is to see if they have family members listed that I should go looking for--and there are times the family members don't even belong to the parents they have listed.

    • @sharontabor7718
      @sharontabor7718 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Whenever I find someone whose tree is built merely by using another person's tree, I don't even look at them. 95% of the time they are wrong. Family Tree fiction travels faster than truth. These same people are not interested in making corrections when presented with evidence not found on the internet.

    • @carolbianchi7852
      @carolbianchi7852 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I agree. And usually they have no sources other than other family trees. I don’t even look at them, or I use the info as “possibility notes” then try to verify with documentation. If I don’t find any, I just delete the notes and move on. Show me the docs. 🤓 Or even a notation that “this family is based on personal knowledge” would be really helpful.

    Once again you blow me away with your presentations. I always learn something new. For example, the serial number in the draft card. I never paid attention to that number before. Now I know what the U stands for. Here is my question. If I run across another draft card but instead of a U there is another letter, how do I find out what that letter represents?

    • @GenealogyTV
      @GenealogyTV  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Great question. There is an article link by Lisa Louise Cook that is included in the handout with this video... or you can Google it. I don't have it at the moment. She says what those letters mean. I don't know where she got that information (she didn't cite her source), but it is a great article. Thanks for supporting the channel! I appreciate you!

    Sorry I missed this live Connie and I missed the live zoom today bc for some silly reason, I set my alarm for 18:30 instead of 15:00. at 3pm, I was taking a nap, my bad!
    I want to comment on the answer that you provided to Tom Walker. Starting at 44:10, "I'll bet you that if you do all of that work then you go to member trees... have all of your information... 80% of those member trees... they didn't go to that level of research."
    I have a second cousin once removed that has not cranked one microfilm roll, has not visited one archive or library... If it's not online, she doesn't have it. There is one item of information that she has provided me that was new. That info is the names of the four unsurviving children of my great grandparents. She got that info bc she interviewed her great uncle who knew the names of his aunts and uncles.

    Great video. In regards to research notes, what is the best way to start using them when you have already done alot of research but it isn't organized or well documented? How do you go back? Or is it better to put it into practice and fill in as you can?

    • @GenealogyTV

      Hey Mysti. This is exactly what we are talking about right now in the Genealogy TV Academy. I only work on Research Notes that for the ancestors around my current research question. It's a never ending process of cleaning up as you go. The focus is on the research and adding your findings to your research notes as you go.

    I always source my research and transcribe every document into the notes section of my FTM program. I don't attach media other than photos, because many courthouses don't allow technology to take photos and/or the documents are too fragile to copy.

    Love this Live presentation today,however I have a question for you and wasn't sure where I should post it. I hope you can help me with.it Not sure if you have ever addressed this before, I have relatives in South america who keep the mothers /mothers last name and not their maiden name ,how am I supposed to enter them in my tree,is this considered their maiden name...so confusing. Does it matter as long as I link them to the correct ancestor? Thank you

    • @GenealogyTV
      @GenealogyTV  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Always list women with their birth name. You could make a public comment that says they didn't take their husbands name. The search engines are going to look for all names (maiden and married). So you should be good there.

    • @toniasalways
      @toniasalways 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      French women (and probably others) kept their birth name their entire life. Children carried the husband's surname.

      I don't know about the other platforms but on Ancestry you can change the relationships by going to Edit, Edit Relationships, drop down menu to other, partner, friend, single, or unknown. I typically use Unknown. However, on the side panel from the profile view it will always say "Spouse & Children."
