Why does ancestry add an "index only" to a person? Recently I added a newly found relative and once AGAIN ancestry has added a "document" for her that doesn't exist. The link ancestry provides leads to the Prince Edward Island vital statistics data base where you can search. I have a surprise for ancestry. Nobody will find this baptism at PEI vital statistics because it was a church record hand typed by me.

1829 Age: 20
Feeby Clark Ward, aged 20 years the 5th day of last July, and baptized by John Snowball. (Between August 24-September 6, 1829
PEI did not keep records in 1829. It was published in the newspaper or recorded in church records. It's a terrible disservice to add "facts" to your data base with the source being someone's family tree fact. This is the second time I can prove ancestry did this. My other family member was entered as died probably in 1888 likely in South Dakota. Next thing I knew, there's a Family Data Collection. There is no such record. I don't know where or when she died. I guessed when I put it on her facts page in my tree. Look for yourself. http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=genepool&h=2674698&ti=0&indiv=try&gss=pt&ssrc=pt_t33543733_p18593570234_kpidz0q3d18593570234z0q26pgz0q3d32768z0q26pgplz0q3dpid&ppvhash=807995f15e37880c31ed6bf35e97e087000039cf1204ef74
Don't do it. Stop doing it. Remove the ones you've dreamed up so far. It's hard enough to get the right person without red herrings supplied by ancestry. Am I mad? You'd better believe it.
