Yet I'm glad--grateful--for those trailblazers who left the record of their research there for us to examine and compare with the documents we can find. Often it is <i>because</i> of their hints that we are led to "discover" those documents that we otherwise might not have found.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-60921000761772091952015-09-09T21:47:29.550-07:002015-09-09T21:47:29.550-07:00Well put, Wendy.

Just because it's online doesn't make the information current. Just because there is documentation doesn't mean the information is correct. I can say a marriage record confirms this couple, but you need to check it yourself because it could be for another couple who had the same name. The purpose of documentation is to help someone find the same information. We can't merely pick up where the last researcher left off and move forward. Their work is a guide to take us backwards too.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.com
