List Members, First off let me say, I have one of the very few completely free and also ad free genealogy websites on the web. For those not aquainted with it go to http://www.rfci.net/wdfloyd All the records that are found on the web has all had a considerable amount of time involved in getting them there and in many cases some expense. All of these records will have errors in them. As far as I know there was only one perfect person that ever walked the face of the earth. It is such an easy matter to make errors. I have seen census records where the name may have changed 4-6 times in a persons life time and had a different name on a marriage license and then even different on the tombstone. Just because it is spelled wrong or has the wrong middle initial does not mean that it is not that person that you believe it to be. It got you to this point so try to prove if it is the person you want it to be or not. Without that wrongly spelled name you would not be at this point. I find that people spend a lot of time trying to get names changed to what they think it should be. I am sure that most of them are exactly correct but I have had instants where some one totalled! disagreed with a cemetery record and wanted it changed to fit their needs and then when I rechecked the cemetery they were wrong. The records that are online are not there to try and mislead anyone. They are there to try and help people find their genealogy breakthroughs and even though they have errors that you want changed they have served their purpose. Every person that does genealogy should verify every thing to their own satisfaction. Many people are perfectly happy just having their line back to 1800 with no proof on anything. That makes me happy. Many people may want some kind of document proving beyond any doubt that their whole genealogy is perfectly correct. This make me happy. All the records online are there to help make you happy. Bill
