Sometimes trees are incorrect, and sometimes the results of DNA show that believing a particular tree is yours leads to a different direction than you originally thought. If you see an error in any tree, you are encouraged to send in corrections, sources, etc or post about it on the forum. These lines represent people's research. What the Smith DNA Project attempts to do in those cases
where there is a suggested change, is, with sources or reasoning, get the people together in a given group,
or individually to discuss and then come to a consensus about the data for updating or correcting. We do not remove information without the people who have the trees, if possible, being aware through a process so they can confirm or not, or describe the issue if there is a conflict that cannot be easily resolved. We also cannot know if there are places on the internet that have additional information. We rely on people whose trees these are, as project members, or interested passersby providing information that will set a new light on members data. There is a Submit Photo/Document/Source link on every ancestor page, as well as a Suggest changes and Contact link.
