I agree about the Ancestry ThruLines, especially with the Portuguese. All of the “potential ancestors”that I looked at were wrong WRONG WRONG! Too many similar names. I’m sorry, but I don’t care if her name is the same as my 5th GGrandmother and we share DNA. Being born in 1926 makes it impossible!
But later when I went back and looked at some that were not labeled “potential ancestor” I found several undiscovered matches—if their trees are accurate. It might be valuable to a careful researcher but what a mess the careless ones will make!
