So, are you looking for deliberate ones? Ones on Geni that change the tree? Report sites? How? Is it ok to malign a site here in public?
I will if I can :)
Shaz for reference links on the project page I think articles that help teach us to think critically are the most useful.
And then think about what would be most helpful to you (and me) as tree builders. Labeling known disproved trees, perhaps, or even better - the "bad link."
What I think happens is that two lines are grafted together and it's that graft we need to spot.
Like Hannah Lightfoot added to George III at present, I read all about it, maybe, he was Axford, because he married after her divorce, dates line up. How do we investigate these things, maybe projects on each of these "possible but fancifull myths" ?
Maybe we need a curated discussion also, on "detachment requests" for bogus or unproven "joins" on Geni ?
You know why I think he ,married her? Because, later on, when he was being such a "Good King", praying 2 hours a day etc, he made it illegal for the royal family to marry without the concent of the crown. He was, in one way copying what happened to her, because she married without permission, but also, in a messed up way, preventing "himself" as in his past, from doing what he had done.
Its all based on Phsychology, but, is possible, and also co-incidence that he made such a thing about that law.
