Time to get back to my genealogy. I have broken through some walls, that I am anxious to share. It's been 2 years since my last post. Throughout the last 18 years, I have had to take breaks due to those infamous brick walls.
Currently, I am fed up with Ancestry - they seem to allow so many people, posting crap on their trees - that if you didn't know anything, it could really throw you off. I no longer look at the family trees unless they have sufficient sources. The idiotic photos they allow users to upload - cartoon characters of Vikings and Revolutionary soldiers. Lowes is one of my family's prominent surname and they actually use the icon for Lowes Home Improvement stores. I shake my head - and I have not found where I can contact Ancestry to report this junk.
I still have my Ancestry subscription but I am looking at other places - any suggestions? I enjoy it, I just wish they would "police" the uploads or have a place where we can "flag" such stupidity. It's like Ancestry all of a sudden has gotten a rush of illiterate people doing their incomplete family trees and it is causing the whole platform to lose its integrity.
