Ancestry is a wonderful tool for doing genealogy..but there are a lot of transcription errors there..comes with the territory...that's also why there are errors on the actual census...and other records. Cousins, This is the Answer to MOST brick walls, There is NOTHING wrong with Ancestry! The problem is That too many Resrarchers Fail to understand that <EVERY record on earth came from a Human MIND. UH, PLEASE, JUST where else could the records have come from?? Something is on Ancestry, It came from a Human Being. One goes to the Court House, Records; Many of them came from the same Human MIND that that one on Ancestry came from Well Most of the Census enumarators Neverb learnerd that they Did not learn to write BOTH the Ancestry & the Court House record originated in Some Human Being's MIND, It is GREAT when the Error's can be Corrected CUZ A T
