I've been researching my own family with Ancestry.com for many many years and have found so many variations of spellings of names, countries - and lord knows what all. Sometimes the names will get misread in trying to log the databases there and not being able to read the writing - so they will just use whatever they can to make it make sense - so be careful and mindful of that as well - a name may not have changed, the database may have just simply been misread.

I've gone thru so much working on my family history for my kids - found a LOT of info I wasn't ready for - and a lot that impressed me - but also, a LOT that never panned out simply because of a "typo".

What you COULD do and what I'd do, is go thru and try and tie others in in the same area or information and see if you can find the correct info that way - like go deeper or more sideways on the tree and maybe that will help.
