Useless, expensive, and unprofessional
Irish Family History Centre的点评
点评:We too had a terrible experience with the Irish Family History Center at EPIC. My wife had some solid information but the "genealogist" didn't seem to have any resources or knowledge beyond using Ancestry which we can do at home and already had everything from. She kept getting people confused as she tried to look things up and my wife had to keep correcting her about who was whom in her family tree. Then, for some reason she started mumbling and looking at records from the United States, which we already had. Eventually she made some off hand comment that an ancestor might have been born out of wedlock. When asked why she thought that, all she could reply was that "it was just a feeling." We think it was because she misread one of the dates on a census record, but who knows. A careful follow up showed a clear marriage record from before the birth, so this was just negligent and bad practice.
We did the whole hour long session and learned absolutely nothing and were insulted to boot. The EPIC museum is okay, but the genealogy service feels like a scam. Save your money and time and go elsewhere for research. I wish I'd looked at these other negative reviews before booking.
翻译:我们在 EPIC 的爱尔兰家族历史中心也经历了一次可怕的经历。我的妻子有一些可靠的信息,但“系谱学家”似乎没有任何资源或知识,除了使用祖先,我们可以在家里做,并且已经拥有了一切。当她试图查资料时,她总是让人们感到困惑,我的妻子不得不不断纠正她家谱中的谁是谁。然后,出于某种原因,她开始咕哝并查看我们已经拥有的来自美国的记录。最终她随口评论说,祖先可能是非婚生的。当被问到为什么会有这样的想法时,她只能回答说“这只是一种感觉”。我们认为这是因为她误读了人口普查记录上的一个日期,但谁知道呢。仔细的跟踪显示,孩子出生前有清晰的婚姻记录,所以这只是疏忽和不好的做法。
我们参加了整整一个小时的课程,却什么也没学到,而且还受到了侮辱。 EPIC博物馆还可以,但是家谱服务感觉像是个骗局。节省您的金钱和时间,去其他地方进行研究。我希望在预订之前查看这些其他负面评论。
