Incorrect entries in a family tree
I did not create the Family Search tree in my name. I did create a tree in Ancestry.co.uk. I verified all the generations before adding them. The earliest generation in Family Search in my tree does not appear to have any supporting documents to validate it. You do not provide any opportunity to challenge any entries.
If you have any concern about the accuracy of your records, you will take this seriously and respond. I will be happy to provide the details at that time. I accept that there could be something I have missed even though I have spent some time to investigate it.

Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.
I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...
Just in passing ...
Please do not be offended; as, such is not meant to offend ...
Perhaps, you DO NOT fully understand, the 'nature' and 'premise', of the "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch'.
Just in case ...
Here an old 'standby' of mine, that I have previously proffered on occasion ...
------------------
Most new (and, some old) Users/Patrons, DO NOT, understand, the basic 'nature' and 'premise', of the "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch', when they join in.
Please let me explain ...
We do not have our OWN "Tree", in the "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch'.
We ONLY have "Branches" (ie. Ancestral" lines), that are interconnected, in this SINGLE "One" World "Tree", for all of us, that is the "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch'.
The "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch', is NOT like 'On-Line' "Websites" (eg. "Ancestry_com"; or "MyHeritage_com"; or, the like); and/or, 'standalone' personal (computer) programmes (eg, the OLD, now no longer supported, "PAF"; or, "Ancestral Quest"; or, the like).
We DO NOT have "Private"/"Personal" 'Trees', in the "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch', like other 'On-Line' "Websites"; and/or, 'standalone' personal (computer) programmes.
We do not even, own; or, manage; and, are NOT even responsible for, the "Deceased" individuals/persons, in "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch'.
And, most importantly ...
We DO NOT even, own; or, manage; and, are NOT even responsible for, Our OWN "Deceased" Ancestors/Family/Relatives, in the "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch'.
The "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch', is built on a "Open Edit" Platform - hence, why ANY "Registered" User/Patron can "Edit" (ie. Add, Delete; and/or, Change) ANY "Deceased" individual/person, in the "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch'.
------------------
Hence ...
"Collaboration", is a big part, of the "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch'.
The "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch', is a "Collaborative" effort, on ALL our parts.
And ...
As, basically, we are all related ...
Your "Ancestral" Lines, are most likely, ALSO another User's/Patron's, "Ancestral" Lines, in fact, probably, that of quite a few other Users/Patrons.
We ALL make MISTAKES ...
NONE of us are PERFECT ...
We are ALL trying ...
Everyone CAN help ... if they wish to participate ...
The "System", DOES NOT require, Verification; or, Supporting Evidence; or, Proof, of "Details" ...
[ Nor, shout it ... ]
That, is the responsibility, of us Users/Patrons ...
The "System", is ONLY providing, the MEANS, to join, individuals/persons; and, families, together ...
Everything, in the "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch', is a CONTINUAL 'Work in Progress' ...
Where, some things, are in a better state, than others ...
The "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch', is not for all ...
Again, please do not be offended; as, such is not meant to offend.
Just my thoughts.
I know, that this certainly may not help/assist; but, I hope, that this may provide you with, some additional, insight; and, perspective.
Brett
