  • Anthony Adolph Episode

    Anthony Adolph starts off by saying that online ancestry sources should not be trusted and are not accurate then proceeds to recommend online sources. Regarding ignoring hints on ancestry sites, how patronising to assume that most people do not carefully research birth records, baptism, marriage, death, wills, military records, old books etc. He clearly thinks that those that use ancestry record sites are gullible in the extreme, or, he himself is out of touch.
