    1. Warning on Broderbund's CD312 census information.
    2. Just opened this this morning and thought I would pass it along as one does not need to purchase mistakes made by companies. This is as I received it and the person I received it from. Beej in AZ Date: Sat, 8 Jul 2000 23:42:09 -0700 From: "ShaLamont" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: [EasternKentucky] Broderbund CD This information was shared with me by another researcher from another list. We all need to inform our fellow researchers of Broderbund's census information. 1) At GenealogyLibrary.com, the 1810 census information they present transposes the male and female columns. By that I mean, the first five numbers they show are for females, the second five numbers are for male. This is contrary to the actual census reports that list the males in the first five columns and the females in the second five columns. 2) I just learned today that Broderbund's CD312, Census Index for Selected US Counties, 1800, also has the male and female columns transposed. As a result of these findings, I would consider any Broderbund products that list census reports from 1800 to 1840 to be suspect at best. Please pass this information on to your fellow researchers. An e-mail was sent to Broderbund when the errors were found in the 1810 index, no response as of yet. This does not make their information useless, you simply have to reverse the columns.
