People have reported errors, but the LDS aren't, or don't appear to be, greatly interested in correcting them. Even some of the transcribed data is wrong, as I've found out from personal research. Understandable of course; We all make mistakes. Also, with their woprk on the new site ramping up, it's probable that the current site will take a lower priority. If not now, but in the future. In any event, we have to remember that the primary purpose of the LDS database is not a genealogical one, but one of religious ordnance. Some of the submitted trees leave a lot to be desired, with parents dying years before children were born, or children being born before their parents, for example. Having said that, the LDS site is a useful resource, when used with care. -- Regards _ / ) "The blindingly obvious is / _)rad never immediately apparent" Success defined by acquisition stinks Money is Not Our God - Killing Joke

Diana, I suppose the best way to publish corrected information would be to create a new website or webpage of your own! Or you could always post it here - Rootsweb caches all its posts and they remain internet-searchable for years afterwards. Brad is, of course, quite correct. A block of data can be quality-controlled by two different people with two different agendas, and their respective conclusions can be wildly different. Whether either will take on board the other's 'corrections' depends on the scope of their own agenda. But at least they happily allow us all to study it!
