If the purpose of the archives is to always have info online for researchers, then shouldn't that info be corrected if what was submitted is incorrect and proof is offered for corrections? Two examples that I know of: 1) 1850 Shenandoah Co census lists George McWilliams as George Williams. SK Publication has McWms listed as Williams in the index and the info online duplicates the error. The proof is on the actual census page. I have a copy and can provide proof. 2) Linden Cemetery in Warren Co, VA gives incorrect date of birth for Annie Showers. I have a picture of her tombstone. I wrote to two different people about these errors. One reply was that the writer didn't know if the census online could be changed after it was online. I didn't receive a reply regarding the tombstone. The tombstone records of Linden Cemetery have now been copied to another website and the copy contains the same error. (The copying is an assumption on my part because if someone viewed the tombstone they would see the correct date. I think the submitted date of birth could be a typo.) Is it really impossible to correct errors in archives? Alley Blackford Shenandoah Co VAGenWeb CC alleyb@worldnet.att.net
