I have applied to join Mayflower Society, they cannnot approve because cannot find proof of birth for Snow-6702 (Isaac Snow, born 1777), all other ancestors have been verified starting with Constance Hopkins.

My grandmother is Mable Valerie Snow.

Date Query: At Isaac Snow, you have him being born in December 1777 and then marrying on 27 Jan. 1791.  NO New England lad ever married at 13 or 14 years of age. So, the Cape Cod lad can NOT be the Granville lad, if you have copied the vitals correctly. Now, if the date is actually 1767, sure no problem. So ... ?

Also, the vital record you cite as MD 16:145 goes to a page of marriages during the 1750s, NOT to a page of birth records. 

And your citation for RootsWeb will have to be re-linked after Ancestry finishes moving all those files to their platform. Its currently a "404."

Regards.

Based on this discussion, I have edited the profile for Isaac Snow so that it does not link to any parents. I moved the unsourced text regarding parents from "Bio" to a new "Notes" section, referencing the latest Mayflower Families Silver Book data. The unsourced connection is noted in the Notes for Isaac Snow, Ephraim Snow, and Martha (Rogers) Snow so that if sources are found, it will be easy to reconnect these profiles.

Note that the FamilySearch profile for Isaac has his date of birth as 1760 (also unsourced) rather than 1777, and no parents are linked to this profile.
Please note, that there are 68 Isaac Snow's on WikiTree, almost a blizzard of them, and I have found FamilyTree to not be very reliable.
You are correct. It is only as reliable as we make it!
