I maintain a large one name file with much unsourced family data and find the census images, as well as other files, invaluable in sourcing/proving these families. As one poster mentioned, all of the SS files online can be incomplete. I have yet to find my own father. This is an SS problem, not Ancestrys. I would never expect any site to necessarily provide "complete" or even accurate information. Today after receiving a list of family in a certain cemetery where the surveyor had provided additional data, I spent a few moments to tell them of corrections to this added info not found on the tombstone. There are many Rootsweb sites that list marriages and give you only names, date, and county/state. I don't expect Ancestry to be any different. It depends entirely on the source of their data as to how complete it is. Any database whether free or not can still only be used as clues and should not be considered totally free of error.
