I want my Family Tree to be as accurate as possible. However, I do know that errors can appear at any time that details are transcribed. So, If anyone finds an error amongst my names and details please feel free to let me know. I will not be offended.

I agree! Being relatively new I make mistakes but would appreciate the feedback off other people. Thanks Bev

Hi Grampa, One of the joys in exchanging information is when those you contact check through what you've sent. I've had a few typos, especially dates, questioned and I've been able to correct them. I usually include speculations as well and have had some disproved and others confirmed. Gwynne

We have plenty of that, at my weekly Writing Group - it is all very useful

I was a little worried about pointing out an error in a tree I found on Ancestry - my research had shown a different marriage and I had some self doubt but I mailed the person concerned anyway to check. She was actually very pleased that I had, having mistranscribed her information. I would like to think that someone would do the same for me. Magsxx
