It seems we are not the only list to have problems with Ancestry's indexing. Here's one from a list I'm on in Pennsylvania. Maggie Here's what I sent--under the title 1830 York Co., PA indexing error It has come to the attention of Wayne Co. Pa family researchers that Manchester Twnp, Wayne Co., PA-- has in error --- been indexed in Manchester Twp of York Co., PA. Easy to see how that is going to confuse and obfuscate research! Thank heavens for technology--- corrections become instant! Thank you so much in advance-- Sheila S.

We all appreciate the mass of on line records, but---having wrong info out there doesn't help---those of us who dig til we drop---or those who believe TV and accept their leaves as gospel and thank you so much for the info as to where some of the 1830s folks went to--- in a case or two--seeing a familiar name in York Co. trying to migrate folks you could document didn't--- or tie in folks who seemed the same--but----------an exercise in huuuuuh? Hope all on list are well! Sheila/Firehair---in way too hot NC In a message dated 7/11/2011 3:04:54 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, yannster@ptd.net writes: I'm having a little tiff with Ancestry.com. I discovered that the residents of Manchester Township on the 1830 census were indexed in York County. Apparently there is also a Manchester Township in York. Perhaps if enough of us complain they'll actually fix it. I have pointed out that the census enumerator, Eliphalet Kellogg, is correctly listed as a resident of Bethany.
