RECORDS attached to this profile

Alexander Love, Military Date: 7 Feb 1778, Rhode Island
✿ U.S. Civil War Soldiers, 1861-1865
Alexander Love, Confederate, North Carolina

So Alexander was born to 9 year old parents. He then either starts his own family at birth or adopts a child later who is the same age as him. He and his wife continue to have children as children themselves. Five years after his death he fights in the Revolutionary War. Then he hangs around for 90 more years to fight in the Civil War.

Father Sir John LeLou ( -1308)
Mother Amice Mauduit

Child Nigeli Luiff (1420-1492)

And John's parents were 100 and 70 years old when he was born.
It's never just one mistake. Clickohphiles don't pay attention to what they're doing. Ever.

Thanks to Linda for the head up about this profile and to Madelyn for the earworm of a title ;-)

Hey! I think I read a book like that. Had to do with a Vampire that served in the Civil War. :) They got to get those stories from somewhere right?

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who recognizes the errors people make when they are "reserching" their pedigrees. And I really get irritated when sites like Geni list Alexander as my "DNA match" based only on the information posted by someone who obviously didn't pay attenttion that he was only 9 when his first child was born. I've spent a lot of money on DNA testing because I didn't want to post incorrect information just to say someone is a relative. Pay attention people and validate what you are posting.

I take the information with a grain of salt. However sometimes it does give a start on a path to find the right information. While I have debunked a fair amount of information found on line every so often a gold is found in the stream.

Blog Reviews

Barking has been "deemed offensive to [Ancestry.com's] brand" and is banned from their Facebook pages. In Ancestry's "Community" comments with links to Barking are censored.
Dear Emma, Hannah, Jemima, Mary Jane, and all of her other personalities agree that I use "the banner of 'education' to actually mock, deride and laugh at [Ancestry's] own customers" and I "can make [my] point concerning tree inaccuracies & cock-ups and their effect on our 'hints' system without being downright unpleasant and sarcastic about it."
Allen says, “your cute little blog is a waste of bandwidth at best”
Ann thinks I'm "...copying and pasting mistakes on trees and calling it a blog" and that my readers are "mean-spirited people...who like to have a laugh at the expense of others."
Sue was really offended by the “...continual stream of sarcasm and constant poking fun...What a nasty taste in my mouth your blog left me with. Unpleasant, sarcastic and jeering at people who you obviously see as your intellectual inferiors. Won't be reading that again.”
And finally from Les, "You truly are a horrible woman, pointing out mistakes is one thing but blatantly laughing and taking the p is completely out of order."

Why?

Researching our family histories we are bound to make mistakes. Hopefully we are quick to correct them. Unfortunately some people refuse to read or think before adding information to their family trees. Some trees have been abandoned so the errors are there for eternity. Here we will laugh, mock and shake our heads at the carelessness, stupidity and/or ignorance of those errors.
All examples are taken from trees published online.
I'll also post tips occasionally, though the messed up trees are a great example of what NOT to do.
If you have an online tree to suggest for a future post please send me a link: buwtree(at)gmail(dot)com
