What do people think about the Millennium file records when researching genealogy?
I’m starting to think that they are not very reliable. Through the Millennium files I have now linked 3 lines to King Edward III 1312-1377 and one line to King Robert III of Scotland 1337-1406
When I googled the Millennium file I got this… [The Millennium File is a database created by the Institute of Family Research to track the records of its clients and the results of its professional research. It contains more than 880,000 linked family records, with lineages from throughout the world, including colonial America, the British Isles, Switzerland, and Germany. One of the focuses of the Millennium File is linking to European nobility and royalty]
While some of the records can be backed up with birth records etc… others are not documented at all except these records.
Who really creates these files?
They may be a good “pointer” tool but is it really pointing you in the right direction? are they reliable?
I'm interested in hearing your opinions
thanks
