AncestryRegister.com has adopted an integrated set of geneapology quality standards that expand the potential scope of any family history beyond that available using traditional genealogy standards. The difference in standards is easily understood - traditional genealogy judges an entry's acceptability using a 'beyond a reasonable doubt' standard (i.e. unquestionably true), while geneapography accepts a 'preponderance of the evidence' standard (i.e. more likely than not to be true). Any entry that meets the geneapography standard but not that of genealogy is required to include a 'Qualifier' denoting which of six permitted reasons best describe the additional entry (Click HERE to learn more about the six types of qualifiers used by geneapography).

'Improbable' Entries are qualified as follows :
| | |
Any person entry that does not meet either the genealogy or geneapography standards - or which respected genealogical or historical authorities have disproved - should preferably be excluded from a family genealogy. But sometimes an Author may wish to emphasize the lack of evidence for a person many others include in 'family tradition' stories, undocumented LDS or other database entries, etc.. All such persons should be identified using the 'Improbable' Qualifier. The word 'Improbable' should appear in the entry's Title Prefix, Title Suffix or Given Name in any database submitted for publication (see also AncestryRegister.com Style Sheet).
