    1. Verifying Information Before Putting in Print

    3. Just a thought... People should verify the information they put in print when researching their families. I have come across several "mistakes" in the "Family Trees" on the various Genealogy Websites on the Net. I call them "mistakes" because I'm assuming that they're unintentional, maybe just carelessness. Some of these "mistakes" are very obvious such as dates. People getting married and having children before they're born, etc. Other "mistakes" aren't so obvious, unless you have prior personal knowledge. Furthermore, some of these "mistakes" are very misleading and take several hours to unravel. Please everyone, be careful and verify, verify, verify, and please cite your sources. Anyone agree??? --------------------------------- Yahoo! for Good Click here to donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort.
