Totally agree with that! I use Ancestry for CLUES, and that is all. I try to write people if there is a seeming link of ancestors. In fact, just had a visit about 3 weeks ago from a woman I had to chase down...she had posted a couple of queries 3 and 4 years ago... Of course, had changed email addresses. Her family was not directly related to mine, with one exception, BUT she did have some info and a picture of mine, and I could provide a brick wall collapse for her... I knew what happened to her great aunt--she married my granddad's brother. However, he died about 1 1/2 years after they married at 30 years old, and because of a clue in an old letter I had, and also another legal document looking for her to give her land (that didn't find her)... We could put together where she went, who she remarried, and checking the census for 1910, 1920, and 1930, could find where she was living. She ended up in SD, they had a son, who had a son, and that son has a family. She is checking to see if she can find any of those folks now. She has cousins she didn't know she had!!! Funny thing--they all live in California. Genealogy is great fun. Being a detective and a packrat pays off eventually! <gg>
