Ancestry Shaky Leaf Hints Just a Gimmick.
Posted: Wed Apr 17, 2013 11:34 am
After several months of not bothering with the suggested hints on ancestry, I have accumulated several hundred of these little "gems" of information, having just wasted some time checking most of these hints, all of which returned seemingly random and pointless records some which only matched the surname and nothing else, I can concluded this part of the service is utterly useless. Yes I did have a few records returned early on when I first subscribed, but to be honest the records returned were nothing special and documents which could easily be found with a few mins of searching.
I have come to conclusion that the shaking leaf is just a sales gimmick to impress potential customers, yet again giving impression that all they need to do is enter a name and the searches will do all the hard work and provide dozens of new records and people, to add at the click or two of a mouse. Maybe this is one of reasons why many peoples trees on ancestry are riddled with mistakes.
I notice how much time ancestry devote to this facility, even having a dedicated talk on it at the recent Who Do You THink You are event. Maybe delusion is clouding judgement as to how good this really is?
