I have three different LDS birth and death dates for my gggrandfather, including the misspelling of his wife's name. These all have names attached I have tried to connect to and have corrected.I know the mistakes since I personally have the Bible, visit the cem., and city records, taxes, census, etc. I have tried three times to correct another group from Family TREE, that claims my grandfather is the son to his brother, and his brother for real had no children yet is credited with my grandfather and three other births. Unless you see the actual record and see the documentation take it with a grain of salt untill you do.

Can anyone tell me if we should rely 100% on the microfilm that the LDS and FHC have on file regarding births, deaths, deeds, probate, wills, marriages, etc. I'm asking because one of the family members who is helping with research got alot of films from the LDS and FHC and found nothing to what she was looking for. I was wondering if alot of the historical societies, genealogy societies in each county and/or state would have alot of books that haven't been microfilmed. Thanks for any help. Teri Tighe
