Recorded information by non-family members may not be at that level and my group and I have had those experiences. Name spellings on recordings is where the problems are found and I will only mention a recent situation that we were working with; the Certificate of Death had a name spelled as Summers (as the father of a Cooper Descendent) and in-depth research with Direct Family Members found his name as SUMARS with an SSN as 233-10-9963.
