Ancestral File Corrections

If your still submitting corrections to Ancestral File (AF) your wasting your time.

Ancestral File is a collection of submitted information by virtually anyone in the world located at familysearch.org on the web. The information hasn't been verified by anyone and is the responsibility of anyone using it to document and verify it.

The file is not receiving new updates and has not for over five (5) yes five plus years. Contrary to what some have suggested corrections are not and have not been added for years. Workers in family history centers are not always aware of this so beware.

Information from such files unless documented with sources should always be verified.
See other stories on AF on this blog.
