I found a death record in Marshall Co., KY 1874 on the above site....I want to learn who the informant was for this deceased family member? How do I do this? Where did ancestry.com get those records in the first place? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks In Advance, Cheryl

Thanks, Richard. I do have a link to FamilySearch Wiki on my Weakley home page. Ancestry is good about correcting errors if you send in corrected data but have found their transcribers do make a lot of errors, which is why I appreciate seeing the original document - like census or marriage record - to verify.

Remember that FamilySearch does much of the same as the for-profit Ancestry site, and doesn't cost you a thing. In fact, the Ancestry records are being checked and reindexed in FamilySearch to correct transcription errors. Plus, you can do foreign genealogy there as well if your lines go that far back. Amazing what can be done with just a million volunteers (like MaryCarol). Richard.

After all the years I have put in transcribing census, etc - it is SO much easier to look at the records online at Ancestry. I have to admit, I put off joining for several years. Then one day a friend said to me that if she spent one overnight trip to Nashville Archives, she had paid for her yearly subscription. Didn't take me long to join!

Looking for information of this family. Joe and family are living with Belle. Are they siblings? Who are their parents? Justine Erwin (deceased) of the Weakley Co. Gen. Soc. told me of a Belle FORD, and encouraged me to talk to her way back in the 1980's, but I never did contact her.....might that Belle Ford be related to this elder one? Looking for links to my Foren line. Thank You, Cheryl

I am looking for info on this couple, and Susan's family of origin. I think the marriage record incorrectly had his last name as TWEEDLE....unless that really is correct?? Thank You Cheryl
