John, My statements regarding verified information was related to anything new that would be added after a base has been established. I know that we all have errors somewhere in our research and recorded information. I found a keying error in mine this weekend and have corrected the error. It is probably not the only error and some are not going to be keying errors. The development process of a master database should take some time to establish. Let me make a proposal: Post the information that you currently have so that everyone that is researching that line can view the data. Do not add any new information for a given time period (say a month), only update/correct identified errors/mistakes/etc. that we can supply proof on. At the end of the verification period, we you will then be open for additions! Those additions will be posted to the mailing list with the proof and everyone can review prior to the data being entered into the master. If there is a problem with the information, then it is not added until a resolution is made. This may appear to be a very time consuming process but we are dealing with something that we want to be as accurate as possible. Any other suggestions of a process or modification of the above should be sent to John for review as well. He is the one that is going to have to live with the RED TAPE! John W. Picklesimer for the other branch!
