I, for one, have always wished my "other" surname lists had an awesome online project like the Hancock one. I think it was terrific how the experts on this group were willing to not only put in major personal time on the project but even more so, share data that someone more mercenary would have preferred to compile into a profitable book. Genealogy is a process, and like most academic endeavors, will need updates and corrections as more information is discovered. I'd say it's better to have the draft in place ,online, to work from and realize that since perfection hasn't been attained anywhere on this earth, there will be some errors. A special thanks to Lisa and Julia and the others who worked so hard to include all the Hancocks in the project. Julia, so sorry about all you are currently going through. God bless.

Mitzi said it just right, and I agree with every word.
