This morning when checking various marriage dates for relatives (12 couples) marriages I discovered that my Boyd grandparents', W A Boyd and Ella White, marriage date listed as 1900. The correct date is 1908. David Corbitt and Mary Ann White listed as 1 Oct 1878; it is 10 Jan 1878. Note how the dates were transcribed. T J Cox and Lilly Griffin listed as 1 Nov 1900; it is 11 Jan 1900. Note how the dates were transcribed. I bring this to the listers' attention because we should realize there are some transcribing mistakes. This is very easy to do and I have done so myself over the years. Sincerely, Christopher Boyd

On the records I have, the date is listed as David CORBETT [note spelling is also different], m. Mary Ann White, 01 Oct 1878. > > T J Cox and Lilly Griffin listed as 1 Nov 1900; it is 11 Jan 1900.

I guess someone will have to double check the original records. ===== ********************************************** BARBARA IS MY NAME AND GENEALOGY IS MY GAME...
