I completely agree. As a professional genealogist I have cleaned up so many trees because people see the quaking leaves and get excited or they link up with others that are (or seem to be) relatives and they almost always become a jumbled mess. I am all for people getting the genealogy bug and wanting to know more. I am also all for people doing the work themselves, but you cannot cut corners with family research. You can't look at a tree and accept it as truth. You have to get the records yourself. It is not a quick and easy process. It takes time and energy, and a family tree is NEVER done.
