I shall but it was neat to see my ancestor's name there along with his
father's name - (I have a different name for his mother). At the very
least it gave me something to chew on, that I had had no reference point
to use before.

Which reminds me of the 'fact' of checking one's facts. I once had a person
who gave me a lineage that went way, way back. I asked them where they
got said info. 'here and there' was the answer. I only took as truth, what
they had legal documents as proof for - figuring as with the site mentioned
above, it gave me at least a foothold on the past, I'd not had before.

I agree with you Chuck - caution is the watchword.
