    3. The LDS Church has forms available to correct any false information. You need to go to any FHC, fill out the form, include your "proof" and the record will be changed/corrected. The big problem is finding people who will verify, verify, verify (at least three sources) before posting or submitting information. If you look at the bottom of the record page and see the word "extraction," it shows the information was taken from the actual record with the obvious problems of reading the handwriting correctly.

    1. [TNANDERS] Strong, Hatmaker, Dale, Moore; 1947
    2. ROCK FALL BRINGS DEATH FOR TWO IN STATE COAL SHAFT Briceville, Tenn. (AP) - A fall of rock in the Cross Mountain coal mine near here Wednesday killed two miners and injured two, one seriously. Mine officials identified the dead as W. G. Strong, 37, Lake City, and McKinley Hatmaker, 29, of Briceville. Hatmaker was a machine operator and Strong was his assistant. C. W. Henderson of Knoxville, president of the Cambria Coal Co., operators of the mine, said his company's engineering department and state and federal mine inspectors are investigating the accident, full details which had not been learned by early Wednesday night. He added that the accident is one that occurs in isolated cases when the weight of rock and earth above a section emptied of coal causes rock to fall without warning. Howard Dale, Briceville, was removed to a hospital at Knoxville, where his physician said his injuries included a multiple fracture of the pelvis. His condition was said to be "fair". Ed Moore, Briceville, was injured slightly and taken to his home. Henderson said the dead and injured were members of a crew of nine to twelve men.

    3. > http://search.labs.familysearch.org/ Thank you for posting this information. www.familysearch.org is of course the standard LDS genealogy site. It has some wonderful information, and it also has some problems. For example, the "classic" familysearch site provides no sources and provides no mechanism for correcting erroneous information, even if you wish to correct your own submissions. But a number of improvements are coming for the LDS Web site. The improvement where images are being posted at search.labs.familysearch.org is a new one for me. After I saw your E-mail, I quickly registered and started exploring the new images. The site appears to be in the very early stages of development (indeed, it is sometimes down while they are working on it), but it shows tremendous promise. Another improvement that has been out there for a while is the Family History Library. To find it, go to www.familysearch.org and click on the Family History Library tab. Inside the Library tab, click on the Family History Library Catalog option. You can do extensive searches on the materials that are held in the LDS archives. For the most part, these are just indexes and you would still have to find the books at a library somewhere. But the exciting part is that many of the materials are being microfilmed and the images are being placed online. This is very similar to the Google Books project where images of books that are out of copyright are being placed online. Putting images online at the Family History Library Catalog is a longterm and ongoing project, and it seems to me that at the present time there are still more materials that are not yet online than that are online. But as an example of a book that's now online, do an author search on Harold Cross. There will be hits for Harold A. Cross, Harold E. Cross, and Harold Zane Cross. If you click on Harold Zane Cross, the only title is Descendents of Sir Robert Crosse. If you click on that one, the book is actually online. The book is about the Cross family of Baltimore County, Maryland and a branch of that family moved to Anderson County, Tennessee. It's a great resource for researching my Cross family in Anderson County. There is not a copy of the book in any of the libraries in the Knoxville area, and other researchers have from time to time been kind enough to copy a few pages and mail them to me. But that's no longer necessary since the book is online. I look forward to more and more books coming online in this manner. I'm not quite sure what the relationship is between the search.labs.familysearch.org project is and the Family History Library Catalog project. Both of them are putting actual images of documents online, so the projects seem similar. But there must be some differences, else it would all be one big project. Finally, the www.familysearch.org Website is being replaced over the next year or two by a new one called New Family Search. It is currently in beta test, and will be available only to LDS members while it remains in beta test. When the beta testing is complete, the site will become available to everybody. I am not an LDS member, so I have not seen it yet. But the documented features of New Family Search include the ability to make corrections to materials that have been posted, the ability to post competing theories about someone's ancestry, and most importantly to attach sources to family histories. Since I haven't seen it, I don't know exactly how it will work. But wouldn't it be wonderful if you could post that John Doe was the son of William Doe and if you could post an image of William Doe's will that proved his children (or link to an image of the will that was already there on the Web site), etc. Jerry Bryan
