Hi, Several years ago I noticed an error in the 1870 (AIS: Accelerated Indexing Systems) index for Eastern Kentucky, and while doing some research the other day I was reminded of it again. If anybody has ancestors/relations in the Berry area (I believe it is referred to as "Berry's District" in the index) you might have seen it. All those who were living in the area of Berry's Station are actually indexed as being in HARLAN county, instead of HARRISON county. Harlan precedes Harrison on the 1870 reel of microfilm and whoever was indexing that roll must have forgotten, or not taken any notice of the fact, that there was a change in county when they got to "Berry's District." So, if you are looking for someone in the Berry area in 1870, keep in mind that the index has them in HARLAN, not HARRISON counties. At least that is what the edition we have here at the Indiana State Library says. Maybe it has been corrected since? And am I the only one who thinks the 1860 U.S. Census Index (AIS) for EASTERN KENTUCKY is the worst? Half of my direct line ancestors don't appear in the index, but I have been able to find them in the actual record. I have done research of quite a few family surnames, and one would think that these families shrank from 1850 to 1860 and then exploded in growth by 1870, as so many were not indexed properly in 1860. Just thought I'd pass along these musings in case someone else was having some troubles in finding their family members in 1860 and 1870. WE ARE NOT ALONE! (X-Files) Ha! Philip Naff.
