    1. [IRL-MAYO] Accuracy of records on the internet
    2. Peter and Joan Collins
    3. Good evening all, I hope that someone may help answer the problem that I have I have a COLLINS family from Mayo covering the dates 1854 till 1863. The records have been transcribed from the parish records on an LDS film. To say that the writing was not of the best would be an understatement. I found similar regards on " IRISH FAMILY HISTORY FOUNDATION site" and "MAYO, IRELAND GENEALOGY RECORDS" The problem is that the interpretation of the hand writing with some of the dates and a name on the film do not agree with that of the internet. While I appreciate the problem with hand written records; The question is "Would the transcription on the two internet site be done by TWO different people; Or would one site have copied the data of the other site and the transcription was done by ONE person"? The data on both sites are the same, Do I accept that data is correct and the LDS transcriptions are incorrect? Any help or advice would be appreciated CARA While I know you do not normally deal with Co Mayo, I appreciate your vast knowledge with Family History. I am also not sure which is your correct E mail address so I am sending to both. Hope I am not causing you any problems. I look forward to your comments Regards to all Peter Collins Cheltenham UK
