But what do you do when you have researched the documents and the documents are wrong?? A close friend for whom I have tried to establish a family tree has pointed out the errors as follows: My friend is one of 10 children born to Mr. X and Mrs. X ---- when the birth certificates were written five indicated that Mrs X was born in Illinois, five indicated that she was born in Kansas. (It WAS Kansas.) Mrs. X death certificate indicated that she was the daughter of Mr. CHARLES something (of Illinois). She was the daughter of Mr. ANDREW (something) of Illinois. (I have the census copy). The information given to the doctor writing up the birth/death certificates was given by someone who knew absolutely nothing positive about Mrs. origins, but this all appears in the IGI files. WE know the difference, but when generations down the line may try to establish the tree, they will have a very hard time trying to figure it out. What to do when the birth certificates of 70-90 years ago are wrong?? DORI
