I googled Susan to find her obituary. I found a Susan in California who could possibly be her. She was born in Pennsylvania. Her year of death is before her mother's. The name matches. It must be her! I think I'll put her in my database and post it for the world.
No, I won't. It is not the same Susan and I won't post it for the world to see for numerous reasons. The main reason I'm not putting her in my database is because the Susan in the obit was born in 1910. The mother of the Susan I am looking for was born in 1925. Do you see why Susan is not the Susan I am looking for?
Why would I post this? Because I'm tired and the lack of respect for facts is nauseating. Because of the fatigue my frustrations toward people who post ANYTHING (true or otherwise) because they found it on the internet are enhanced.
A part of me wants to place the wrong Susan as the daughter in a tree on Ancestry and see how many people will copy it.
But I won't.
I'm off to do something else.
