In the family trees under Mary Etta Richardson married to Samuel (Sam) C. Morgan, parents Charlotte Smith and Joseph P. Richardson. Most of the information is wrong. This is my grandmother and I know for a fact it is wrong. Samuel Taylor Greer posted it and he doesn't know what he is doing. So I don't think I would trust anything he posted. I don't know how to change the information to the correct information or I would. I have sent him two messages and have yet to get a response from him.

You can't change someone else's family tree data. People have the right to be wrong which is the reason researchers need to check out the sources for user contributed data and not just accept it as fact without verifying sources for the data.

That said, tree submitter email addresses are included on pages of the trees...so you can let the person know about any errors through an email. Also, you can add a Post-em Note to the incorrect entries in the tree where the submitter can find and fix it it he chooses to do so.

I have tried to contact the person twice to let him know that most of the information was wrong. He will not respond to my email either. I didn't think I could correct his information but I was in hopes I could go in and put the correct information in saying that this was the correct information. I do know that people makes mistakes but there are too many in this one. He could not have went to the resources that are available. I don't know how to add a Post-em Note for sure. I think I did it one time but don't remember how I did it. Thanks for your response Joan.

To add a Post-em Note --- while viewing the entry you wish to comment on (adding the correct info) click the ADD POST-EM link on the page (it is up near the top) and then just add the correct information and click to post it. That will put a little VIEW POST-EM notice when anyone views the entry you added the note to so that they can read it..it will be attached to the person you added it for.

Unless the database owner chooses to delete it (which is unlikely) it will stay there as long the tree is there and isn't updated/changed.
