Ron: I found some bad information in an online tree at Ancestry for my own direct lines. When I told the person the information was wrong and submitted the correct information, I got a terse response saying she wasn't going to change her information because she was right. I responded back saying she was wrong because I knew these people personally and I also knew this woman was not related.
More bad family trees go on and on further corrupting our lines. I suspect I have a number of errors in my distant lines, but my direct lines are well researched. I agree that we shouldn't be able to change others data. However, we should be able to add a note that stays with this person's data if there are conflicts. I think Ancestry's online trees has this option.

Who is expected to say that that so called "correction" is accurate? Personally I would take strong exception to anyone changing my data without my explicit consent. I know the odd persons who disagrees with some of my data, but then I disagree with their's. So who is correct?
