Family Histories in Ancestry.com seem to be very bad reference data
Post Body
I have noticed that using family trees as reference for my own family tree causes more problems than its worth. I keep finding children born before their parents or children born before their parents were married. I think I have thrown away 1/2 my tree and started over, actually checking facts along the way. Whole lineages have been removed.
Anyone else notice this problem? If not, you might want to go back and actually check the lineage records to be sure.
