Hello All, I've recently found two cases in which transcriptions of event dates in the Familysearch.org database, and as a consequence in the Ancestry.com database, are incorrect. These faulty transcriptions cause misleading entries on the results list for certain searches. The errors I've found occurred when a birth event-date was in the quarter before the birth-registration date. The fact that I found two such cases recently suggests to me that they may be more than uncommon. My two examples. 1. The Irish General Register Office (GRO) official birth certificate for Julia Plunkett, daughter of Andrew Plunkett and Mary (Kelly) Plunkett, records her birth date as 1888 Aug 22, in Kingstown, (Rathdown) Co. Dublin, and the birth-registration date as 1888 Oct 10. (Aside: Julia's father died 1888 Sep 9, 3 weeks after she was born, due to debilitating TB, so her mother Mary understandably had serious matters to manage before she got to the registrar's office and signed her X mark). The Familysearch.org online record at https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FB8H-HJ4 shows these data: Name: Julia Plunkett Event Type: Birth Event Date: Oct-Dec 1888 Event Place: Rathdown, Ireland Registration Quarter and Year: Oct-Dec 1888 Registration District: Rathdown Since the search-results list for Julia Plunkett's birth in 1888 displays the (supposed) event date, it shows a Julia Plunkett with birth event-date Oct-Dec 1888, the same as the registration date, and not the correct birth-event date of 1888 Jul-Sep. I had failed several times to identify the proper entry on the results list because of that error. 2. The GRO official birth certificate for Ellen Kelly, daughter of William Kelly and Dorah (Doran) Kelly, records her birth date as 1881 Jan 14, in Kingstown, (Rathdown) Co. Dublin, and the birth-registration date as 1881 Apr 23. The Familysearch.org online record at https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FBWQ-Z35 shows these data: Name: Ellen Kelly Event Type: Birth Event Date: Apr-Jun 1881 Event Place: Rathdown, Ireland Registration Quarter and Year: Apr-Jun 1881 Registration District: Rathdown As in Julia's case, on Ellen's GRO record the birth date was in the quarter (Jan-Mar) before the registration quarter (Apr-Jun), and it was the registration quarter that appeared as the event date on the search-results list. Lesson to self: Try to trust, but then try harder to verify. PJ
