Too-Too Thursday - Ancestry Nonsense.
Ever go on Ancestry and get results way outside your search parameters? It happens to me all the time. I don't care how specific you are, apparently the databases at Ancestry know better than you what you are looking for.

Assumingt it's because the dates were enter,ed as "about " so it grabs everything 19th century. What a pain. You'd think it could still narrow urge "abouts " down to five, or ten years on either side.
ReplyDeleteActually on Ancestry it gives you a choice of ranges: 0; 1+/-; 2+/; 5+/-; 10+/-; 20+/1. So it falls way outside the parameters.
ReplyDeleteWhat irks me the most is if I enter Pennsylvania on several lines I REALLY mean Pennsylvania. Not some state 2,000 miles away.
