My personal reaction would have been (and I assume the intent was) to let Tena know that there are errors. Is the point, you want to collect names, ANY names? Or you want the correct ones? The majority of genealogists prefer the correct (or at least darn close; sometimes a record can be a year off) date and name. To each his own; however, please don't attack Patricia for trying to help. She is trying to make "our" newsletter as accurate (and therefore as least frustrating) as possible for the rest of us doing research. Please, Tena, pull back and think that over. Bobbi
