    3. But then while I enjoy cutting out all these little family "tidbits" to add in with my family group sheets, the newspapers do make errors we must remember. My sister Dorothy was born at home in Illinois and the little item I have of her birth has her being born the wrong "day" in January 1939 and an item I found for my mother's sister born out here (Washington 1919) indicates the parents had a new "son". I have found all newspaper birth "tidbits" of my mother's family except one brother born 1914 and still looking for it.

    3. I have to chime in.....first to say, Cathy, thanks so much for sharing. I love it and have it all filed. Secondly, that is right. SOME TIMES the newspaper did not get it right. Sometimes the dates are wrong and more often than not the spelling might not be wrong. But the old news columns are often the BEST information we have. I agree with Antoinette, we have to analyze and make corrections as we see it in print contrary to the facts!! It sure gives it a lot to think about. I am very grateful for the old news columns and the "nosy" local correspondents who wrote it all down for print. My ancestors did not leave behind any journals (or I have yet to find them), so the neighborhood columns are the next best thing to the journals. I love reading about the ancestors and what they were doing and who they were doing it with!! I love it.........and thanks, again, Cathy..........

    3. I was not "belittling" anyone in saying what I did about taking into account all things when reading these items. And I, too, wish to thank Cathy and the many other people who have taken time to bring these "tidbits" to the internet for our research and use. The same as when we speak of something, we need to use it as "a tool" to prove what we read or what we heard. Also "handwriting" is the same. I received a certificate of birth which had been typed from the ledger. It stated "male" but gave the name "Antoinette". I really doubted all this as my grandfather had never ever mentioned having a younger sister, nor even a sister, except a half-sister through his father's second marriage. The date of birth of this "male" child shown as "Antoinette" was the exact same date that my great uncle Elroy used. Were they twins? Or? This was 25 - 30 years ago when I got the certificate and questioned it. About a year ago I found a "tidbit" that Mr & Mrs So and So had a son ~ ~ and this turned out to be my uncle Roy ~ ~ there was also another birth record stating "male" (a sibling of my uncle Roy) but giving the name of Janet. I have within the past couple years found this Janet to be Jarret. The 2 "r's" could easily pass for an 'n'. But it is challenging and I can not stop "searching" and/or finding the right piece to complete any puzzle.
