Raising my Ancestry.com tree rating- Week One

Sunday August 24, 2025- 

My Jeckering family tree on Ancestry.com is several years old-- I would say at least 15 years old....I've added name after name and source after source but I know my early days of Genealogy- I wasn't that great at recording my sources (like I am now). 

Currently, my Jeckering family tree rating is a sad 6..6 (fair rating). I really want to boost that score (for my own personal gain) so we're going to view 'all possible errors' that ancestry.com is showing me and go through each one--- and I know this will take awhile! 

  1.  ULN, Anna Sarah 1759-1825- 5th great-grandmother- the error listed is that there are hints for Sarah that are not viewed and/or saved.
So, now that I went through and added information- saved and denied sources for Anna, and I refreshed the page for possible errors, her name is taken off- so that's promising that it'll update on it's own. Let's keep going! And it looks like the majority of the error messages are duplicates or "[name] has no records or other sources attached to them"- which is what it had said about Anna Sarah.

3. Victoria Adelaide Mary Louise "German Empress consort, Queen consort of Prussia" 1840-1901- 11th cousin, 3x removed

24. Dorothy M. Abel (1904-1982)- 7th cousin, 5x removed 
25. Florence E. Abel (1909-1995)- 7th cousin, 5x removed 

Saturday, Day 7- August 30, 2025

wasn't able to do any research on this day.

By the end of the week and adding a ton of source records, my score didn't change... but I still have a lot more work to do---
