What page will be more accurate to compare to - Geni or familysearch?

Question

I have compared Gouws-544 to Geni:

https://www.geni.com/people/Pieter-Johannes-Gouws-b3c4d1e5f1/6000000016640248167

and to family search:

https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/GHHM-6GH.

The parents of him differs on the different sites - and now I am not so sure of my details on wikitree?

Comments

Generally speaking, neither of these websites or their profiles/trees should be considered more accurate than the other. Any accuracy depends on the source records available onsite and/or attached to their profiles/trees.

---

For the referenced individual, the Geni profile does not appear to have any source records attached, while the FamilySearch profile has several source records, with images, attached.

If I were researching Pieter, I would use the FamilySearch profile and records as my starting point.

---

edit: FamilySearch profile is conflated. Records for Petrus belong to a different person. I will make corrections.

WikiTree profile Gouws-582 appears to represent Petrus.

---

edit 2: I've updated Pieter's FamilySearch profile to include his parents, baptism, spouse, and marriage records, as well as his death data from his gravestone image.

Pieter's new profile is G5NP-3PL .

I haven't reviewed Pieter's siblings and children yet, but the records for Petrus indicate he was not married.

I will post again if I find any more adjustments are needed.

Answer 1

Look at tire birth and death, they may be related but I don't think they are the same person.

Re ;Family search has been collecting data around the world long before the internet. May be do a search there.

Answer 2

Have a look at the 12 sources on Family search

Answer 3

Someone has attached the wrong parents on Familysearch the Birth Record shows the ones you have listed the Geni is for a different individual (dob 1815) Baptism South Africa, Dutch Reformed Church Registers

Answer 4

my advies is dat alle stambome inet leidrade is.Gebruik die info om dokumente op te spoor.Die eerste kyk watter stamboom is die beste dokumenteer.en ontleed hulle.By Gouws kry u n opbondeling van sekere name en met die groot famielies is n neef soms ouer as sy oom.Kyk mooi na Andries Johannes van die diamantveld-sy gesin is een so geval.  Spesifiek tot Geni en Familie search.My Heritage is die "baas"van Genie..Op My Heritage het jy n persoonlike stam en bedryf dit soos jy goeddunk.Geni is die versamelplek van al die stambome.Die stambome en ander info word dokumenter getoets om die mees akurate weergawe te kry,volgens n program bestuurder en n belangstellende paneel,maar oop vir almal.    Family search is n "free for all'en werk soos My Hertage behalwe dat die resultaat nie met dokumente bepaal word nie eerder wie in beheer is..Ek merk Wiki se teenwoordig heid ,wat hopelik stabiliteit sal bring.   Wiki -vry tot PPP profiele.PPP is n projek sic met "more than equal rights"wat met goeie bedoelings die profiele beskerm.Ongelukkig word beslissings demokraties gemaak en nie op dokumente nie.Wiki pleit wel vir dokumente.  

Ek het ook Andries  johannes  van die diamant veld ,maar die papiere se op Rooipoort begrawe..Plaas die vraag op Wiki oop en jy sal die volle waarde van Wiki kry.Ek  stel belang in die detail en probeer openlike gesprek kry.  Hoop die "koerant'help

Answer 5

Andries Gous op Geni  net vinnig vergelyk met my data --daar is grond vir nfout   Andries gous en andries Johannes is op dies plek begrawe.
