Everyone has great comments on this problem. I have had someone contact me to say we were related and she was very excited. I was knew and trusted. After reviewing more I saw she had connected my info into her tree. I don't mind. However, I know my great grandfather did not start having kids at the age of 9. I contacted her but she swears we are related. I deleted her info from my tree but I am still in hers. I feel sorry for anyone thinking they have a "hit". I do take the hints and post them to my tree. It may take me more than a month to get back and verify the info. Meanwhile it may "look" like I am trusting it. I just haven't verified it yet. I always reply to any comments or concerns on my tree. If it was private I would miss all the input that could help me on a breakthrough. You have to learn to not rely on others but to always verify once, twice.....
