Changes
I see that my family tree has been decimated and the history is cut off sharply at my 3rd GGF. The line used to go back to the year 154 in Scotland. Please advise me of why this alteration was made.
Thank you

The reason for the changes seem to conflict. Where are the source documents for these folks to make changes?

You'll need to ask those who made the changes.

It is frustrating when others change our trees but remember the overall purpose of Family Tree:
- Family Tree is different from other similar genealogy sites in that it is a single, public tree linked together in families, rather than a site that only allows users to create and manage their own private trees. This distinction means that everyone works together on the same data, allowing for the potential to connect every member of the human family.
- Family Tree compares records and sources in order to help you resolve mistakes or duplication in records. It also provides messaging and collaboration tools, as well as free expert phone support, to help you resolve errors.
- Family Tree draws from FamilySearch's enormous database to provide record hints. This makes it easier to link you and your ancestors to earlier generations.
- The Memories section can help foster deeper connections to ancestors. It provides a place where you can preserve and share photos and histories.
- We want Family Tree to be accessible to as many people as possible. You can view it through a variety of means, including on mobile devices, with the Family Tree and Memories apps, or in areas with low bandwidth, with the Family Tree Lite website.
When you are having difficulty contacting others who have changed the tree (remember, they also believe that they are correct), try looking in Solutions Gallery. You can find other private ways to keep your tree and still enjoy the benefits of FamilySearch. Hope this helps.
