    1. [ILPERRY] wrong data...
    2. ...ok peoples...i need some help/input here...put on your "thinking" caps! ...the data i put on my websites are 90% taken from courtcounty records. many times they are incomplete, wrong data, or listed as male/female birth etc., i type them up EXACTLY as they are listed, then post it to the site, and sure enough, i get letters telling me that such and such entry SHOULD BE so and so's name/date/etc. ....my problem/dilema is this...SHOULD i change my entries to the "correction" i have received, even tho i myself have no 'proof' of it? or should i leave it as recorded?? the same applies to names/dates that are NOT included in the county records, should i ADD them??? ...please don't misunderstand, i am NOT doubting for even one second, the validity of these corrections i receive....i just don't like the idea of "changing history", so to speak. let me know what you think/do on this...puleasssssse! :) Jean [email protected] ALHN Perry Co.
