Falmouth Genealogical Society Monthly Meeting

The Dangers of Online Public Trees

On Saturday, May 14, Dave Robison, owner of Old Bones Genealogy of New England, will present information on how to spot careless internet research to insure that your research is producing accurate results. Using his own example, he says he learned through a reputable genealogy website that a 3rd great-grandmother of his had five children when she was alive and three more after she had died! Mr. Robison's presentation will show how to detect such false accounts.

Dave Robison is a professional genealogist. A frequent lecturer, he offers a variety of presentations and workshops both live and virtual throughout New England and the US. He is the current President of the Western Massachusetts Genealogical Society.
