Welcome to Wrong Ancestor

Why Wrong Ancestor? Because sometimes we think we found the right person in our research only to realize later we had the wrong person, maybe the wrong family all along.

What to do with that mistake? I say, chronicle it with the hopes that one person's "mistake" is another person's relative. I'll post that information here with the hope that it will help another's genealogical research.

If you have a Wrong Ancestor in your tree, contact me and I'll post it here. My email is rightancestor@gmail.com. Or, leave it as a comment.

Please visit Right Ancestor where you can read about my own (successful) explorations and services.

Thank you,
Chris
