Last week, we discussed the benefits of researching with others. There are many benefits, but are there any negatives?
I’ve noticed a few in the decades I have been conducting genealogy research, however the positives have more than outweighed the negatives.
- Tentative research taken as the gospel truth and shared with others
- Other researchers taking credit for your hard work
- Sharing information that you have been asked not to share
- Disagreements on names of ancestors without any definitive proof
What negatives have you found in sharing your research with others?
