There will be mistakes in any coping of any records and yes there are mistakes in the old books and will probably be some in the new ones. What I do is I look for a death certificate or Social Security Record along with the cemetery record. If they all agree then I assume they are accurate. I know several ladies who are helping update the new edition. Anything you find written or posted by VirJean Bozorth is usually correct, I have have found very few errors on her records. If you have Ancestry.com (you pay a fee to get this service) they now have the original death certificates from 1852-1952 on line. You also have access to all the census records, birth and some marriage records. You also have access to the research of others who have published their work on this site from all over the U.S and some other countries. You have access to registration records but not much information is given except for WWI.It is well worth the money if you do not have it. I use the information and if the source is not given or not definitly proven to my satifaction then I start at that point and go from there. Hope this helps.
