Michael mentioned the 80% accuracy record for the COI transcriptions. Is there any idea of what types of errors were common? Or were they just all shapes and sizes? I ask because I have a gotten a record from that database with a very unusual entry that I believe is an error, but I can't imagine how it was made--a burial in a specific cemetery is listed, but that cemetery is rather far from the deceased's home or church. So for years, I have been hunting for clues concerning that cemetery, to finally conclude it was written in error. I know that any database is riddled with mistakes (I even make them when jotting down notes from records), but, boy, those mistakes can send us researchers down the wrong path and cost us days and years of work!
