G to A is a flawed series of documents. It can most certainly be used as guide line of possible times, events and ports. Every once in a while, it hits the mark dead on, most of the time... no. Even items and events placed in the LDS and Ancestry files should also be used as a guide line until you can evaluate your own research. Reasons for "not quite accurate information" are many. Transcription errors, lack of knowledge of what is being transcribed and transcriber fatigue come to mind. Corrections to the original material is mind numbing by the shear mass of information. I do not think I would want to have the responsibility of making corrections. Think of it this way, 20+ volumes in the G to A series, going over every entry (150+ per page times the number of pages per volume) and making corrections... I think the funny farm and rubber room would be next! The second series of CD's may have information that the original did not have, but again who did the transcriptions and how accurate are they? Consider the source(s), use the information as a guide line, do your own research and make detailed notes of your research sources...
