Someone, somewhen put down information - right or wrong- and it got picked up and recorded somewhere, sometime onto records - CD's or LDS site. Then many (sometimes dozens) of others add this misinformation to their family tree without checking the validity of the information. In just one instance, I was able - by dumb luck- to find an original family group record submitted in the 1970's that was the source of the misinformation. Dispite official records to disprove this error, many others continue to use this wrong data. I used to spend a lot of time submitting to others the records to disprove that old FGR but apparently many just do not care. As I see it you have two choices 1. Add Postems to the trees that you have found and hope the webmaster will consider your information. 2. Just be content that you have the correct information. Applications to join organizations, etc. do not depend on what others say - well documented records speak for themselves. Barb
