CONFIRMING ANCESTORS
There is only one way to know for sure about ancestors on your tree, are truly 'your ancestors'!
Start with suggestions from family tree services. Next, search and attach PROOF documents (birth, death, marriage, divorce) to each of your ancestors starting with your grandparents. THEN and only with vital documents can you say that your first three or four OR FIVE generations are 'CONFIRMED' with documentation. ALSO, after you have done that... you can back up your FS tree to a free tree on Ancestry (no one can freely edit it).
