Watermelons & Online Trees …
How do you tell if a watermelon is good? By thumping it and if it sounds hollow it is
good. If there is a “bee sting” on the
rind, it is good. Look at the color and
the field spot; you want a dull color and a creamy field spot!
How do you tell if an online family tree is good? By looking at and checking the sources!
There are a number of online trees that can be found when
searching for your ancestors. Some of
these pedigrees are free and some of them are subscription. Just
because a tree is subscription, does not necessarily mean that it is a good
tree. In addition, just because a tree
has a large number of names does not necessarily mean that it is a good
tree!
Generally any family tree or pedigree should be
approached with caution and only used as a stepping stone to your own sourced
research. A good family tree or pedigree
will cite its sources and will freely give credit where credit is due.
