I am a long time Legacy user. Recently, I also started using MyHeritage. I had the same concerns about the quality of some of their information. However, I have realized that I am the final judge about what gets added to my tree. In spite of some questionable sources I have discovered some that were both new and accurate. Without the new source suggestions I might have missed them altogether. This is the same situation we have always faced: Is the new information we find accurate?
