Researchers, When taking librarian training classes for the FHC Library (fka LDS library) in 1982, we were told that compiled databases & indexes etc had a 17% errors rate of dates, spelling, omissions and duplication. I know that rate has been greatly improved upon but realistically we can still expect some of the same thing when human minds and human hands are doing the work. We are all very aware of errors that appear in primary sources, and must proceed with caution. Please remember CITE YOUR SOURCES, even if the information is told to you. The late Richard S. Lakey was prompting us to do just that when he wrote that book in 1980. The internet has brought upon us a whole new set of research problems. Please read (at least page 17) EVIDENCE: citation & Analysis For The Family Historian, 1997, by Elizabeth Shown Mills. Most all genealogy departments have these two books, probably circulating copies too. -- Nancy M. Clay Meyers, Lorain OH
