My Grandfather was born in Virginia and his ancestors go back a long way
there. Documentation is scarce in many places because of the armies that
have marched there over the years.

I have been working on my Mother's family (Southard, Sudduth and a host of
variations) for a very long time.  I have documentation for everything I
have published.

Now Ancestry has 557 Genealogies that have my family all figured out.  This
is based on an entry in the LDS Ancestral file that has no documentation.
There are zero official records to prove this 'old family story'

The scary part is when you look at the Ancestry they show the Source
Citation as "Ancestry Family Tree'.

I think we are losing the battle.
