@FrugalFH #AncestryHour Ancestry mis-reported the date of the issue. The record page shows the date of the issue in December it's the Supplement to.
When I viewed the image and saw the 1 January date I was gobsmacked.

@moragp61 @AllThoseBefore @donnasr Having a similar issue with my (100%) Scottish DNA: So few people testing on my lines. I'm sure it's because many people have a really good idea of who they are and how they got there, especially my Highland branches. 😠😡😠 #AncestryHour

Hi #AncestryHour! Has anyone broken part way through a brick wall, needed matching DNA, then found a potential match and gotten confirmation with a test? I might have found my 3x g-grands in Ireland, but will need a cousin to test to be sure. Daunted by the difficulty of it! 😬

Finally reported an issue with the 1901 #Census of #Canada on @Ancestry. Hopefully someone reads it!
It seems like @Ancestry botched an update at some point where male children no longer are listed as "Son" even though the writing in the image states it. #genealogy

@HistoricalTris1 @Chasing_My_Tale @Ancestry I like the idea of prompting the original poster to accept or reject new data, not unlike what MyHeritage does with matching people. Problem is, people copy the original image, and then re-upload it with (flawed) changes as if the original were their own.

@Chasing_My_Tale @SJCaracciaCPA @Ancestry There is a serious problem of historical record here. If 12 people have a photo ascribed to one person, or 12 trees have the same mistake, and only one person is correct, future researchers, and algorithms, are likely to believe the 12.

@Chasing_My_Tale @SJCaracciaCPA @Ancestry I've had the same problem. I posted a photo of my dad's great aunt Ellen only to find he had two great aunts Ellen and I had chosen the wrong one. None of the people who had copied my photo removed or moved it, probably because they remain unaware unless I message all of them.

@embellydance This is the hardest question in photo identifying.
Have you got access to facial recognition software - not always very helpful but you never know.
Problem is that close relatives can look more alike than the same person at different ages

@UkNatArchives @AncestryUK @DefenceHQ One usually has to pay for this data anyway if one makes a request from the National Archives.
@AncestryUK digitising them means a) more will be available for the public to access (at cost, as now) & b) more records available for Ancestry subscribers. I don’t see the issue.

#AncestryHour Late Q: If someone is described as a publican (c 1820, Chiswick), does that mean he owned the pub? or just worked there? One of my ancestors went from being described as a "publican" to being described as a "brewer's servant" which is a step down, no?
