Date Watching


I was reminded once again recently to watch the dates of birth of both parents and child. I was finding names of some of my ancestors on familysearch at first all looked well, Then I notice that according to this Tree Alexander Huton born  1546, but his mother Janet Beveraige was born in 1563. So this information has to be rejected, but used to clarify to see if the dates or names or both are wrong.

          I usually look for the parents by looking twenty years before the oldest child and the mother. This is also why ancestors should be added one at a time to avoid errors.
