Aren't sites like Ancestry.com and Family Search.org wonderful? They make it so simple for beginners to start their family history. But websites aren't infallible. Mistakes are made. Just remember to double check the dates and locations that those wonderful "leaves" pop up. It doesn't take much extra time and may save a lot more work in the end.
I got sloppy once and when I realized my error it was 4 months down the line and everything had to be undone and redone. Relationships that were made with the new family sadly were lost because I couldn't prove they were a part of me, so keep those research notes up to date and don't rely on anyone else's research, they may have taken someone's word for something and didn't know that the story had been changed through the years. It happens so don't let it happen to you.
Check Check and double check!
