    3. I've have also had some cases of this in this index. I wondered if it was a misunderstanding of the state codes MI and MN that had caused the errors.

    3. Abbreviations for the different states weren't really standardized into 2 letter codes until the 1960s and 70s when computers would only allow 2 spaces on the punchcard. Prior to that 2, 3 and even 4 letter abbreviations were used ( Iknow in the 50s, I was taught in school to use 3 letters) - One really notable recording/transcription problem was on an pre-1900 census - the state was Indiana but the actual census taker decided to abbreviate it as Ia with a lower case 'a' this has been read by transcribers as both Iowa and Idaho neither of which were states at the time. "Mi' could have been Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi or even Missouri. Marie (GOONS 5318) Bringing the world together one surname at a time.

    3. I used to belong, but left. They are basically a matching site, but the criteria they use for matching are IMHO crude and lead to a very large proportion of false matches. Sometimes matches were offered that had different surname, different forenames and different dates! Basically, I found that I was expending too much time sorting out the wheat from the chaff. So I gave up. John.

Paul 2627 As for it's worth, you may make a lot of contacts (depending on your name), but I don't think I will be renewing mine when it runs out. Some poorly researched tree's, no sources visible, unless you join the tree you want to look at. It's a large matching site, so the errors are just becoming duplicated.

Not sure this has been mentioned before: http://www.genguide.co.uk/about/ The site states: "The idea behind the GenGuide is to offer beginners and experienced genealogists and family historians an easy and convenient way to find descriptions of and information on genealogical sources. Keeping track of developments in new databases, web sites and reference books is a challenge and one of the aims of the GenGuide is to provide a facility where these resources are easily and quickly found. Hopefully you will find targeted and relevant information and spend less time sifting through internet search results or potentially missing relevant information and web sites. Each genealogical source in the GenGuide is fully searchable by a number of individual fields or across all fields." I searched for "Medieval" and also for "Probate" and got a number of interesting articles... ...and "Surname Origins" gives some useful links. HTH, Ken
