AnneTheWriterWhen you're on Ancestry, do you ever: * Swear that someone else *must* have changed your tree (even though you know that's not possible)?* Think that people are missing from your tree or that they "somehow" got disconnected from other people in your tree?* Accept Hints from other people's trees, or maybe you used to do so, early on?There's a good chance you have duplicates in your tree, and you might not even realize it.A lot of Genealogists have been having problems with a glitch in Ancestry, where it creates duplicates of people already in their trees. Here's how to fix the problem now, in the easiest way possible, and how to avoid it in the future.Do NOT delete the duplicates! This can mess up relationships in your tree, and cause you to lose sources & hint matches.

AnneTheWriter<a href="https://mastodon.social/@rodhilton" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@rodhilton</a> The video they put up as an example of a "Gold Mining Town in California" is so full of historical inaccuracies because it's taken from "Wild West" films, NOT from historically accurate photos & drawings. One <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Genealogist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Genealogist</a> YouTube account analyzed it and showed the countless errors. He was confused about why it put 1900's windows on 1860's buildings (the actual era of the Gold Rush), why there were so many buildings, a lack of signs, etc.It's because their <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Sora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Sora</a> example video was based on Hollywood's "Spaghetti Western" movies, not on historical images. If you take it as coming from those, then what you see makes perfect sense.Some of the mistakes the Sora people left in were embarrassing and should have been edited out-- several chimneys on each roof, horses without riders, pedestrians without heads, a two-legged horse, etc...

Include as much info in the filename as you can (date, place, etc).Do not use commas in the filenames, as this can cause some files to blow up on some computer systems.For names and file management, here is Part Two of my "Avoiding Common Mistakes" blog for <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Genealogists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Genealogists</a>.<a href="https://diggingintoyourfamilytree.wordpress.com/2022/02/26/avoiding-common-problems-part-2-file-management/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://diggingintoyourfamilytree.wordpress.com/2022/02/26/avoiding-common-problems-part-2-file-management/</a>

Either hand them yourself to a local LDS <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Genealogy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Genealogy</a> Library or put in your Will that you want them digitized and posted to a Genealogy website. You undoubtedly have cousins who would LOVE to see them, especially if they are of Grandparents or further back. The LDS Library will post them to <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/FamilySearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FamilySearch</a> for you, so other family can find them.You don't have to be Mormon to use this library. Just make sure the photos have been identified as much as possible. If you don't know the names for some of them, note their possible family line and a <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Genealogist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Genealogist</a> can probably figure out who they are.My mother and I have saved photos for friends who had no heirs, and matched them to some VERY grateful family members.
