Original research is hard.

I’ve posted my family history on line. It took years of research. Every once in a while I get a query from someone who has found it, and just copy-pasted the whole thing into their own family history, without bothering to check if their ancestor is the same as my ancestor. Sometimes, they are just two unrelated people who happened to have the same name.

It’s how you get people who swear they are descended from Charlemagne or Alexander the Great. Right. Good luck tracing that paper trail.
