So many are not aware of the scope of records that may be in the treasure houses (manuscript collections, courthouses, archives) because these sorts of documents are seldom found on the internet.<br /><br />I myself just began to learn about what might exist while in my second phase of research -- rummaging around in a Courthouse, where tax assessment rolls, several types of estate records, Court minutes books and order books, land entry books, Marriage Bonds and Marriage Returns, Civil War Veteran Tax Exemptions and many other gems were available for whoever cared to look at them. My mouth was agape for days, and it was one of the most fun genealogical learning experiences I can imagine.Geoloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050268303916428230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-285718222503172945.post-76783534971881463322011-11-13T16:33:00.538-08:002011-11-13T16:33:00.538-08:00spot on Jenn.

But I would actually applaud her for her willingness to correct what she saw as faulty information. How many of us simply roll our eyes when we see incorrect information online, though? How many of us take the time to contact those who have posted incorrect information online? I know I only rarely do so. I usually ignore the bad information, and privately complain about it, but I take no steps to correct it.Michael Haithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17838947327022663525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-285718222503172945.post-4922544977126700272011-11-04T21:54:26.406-07:002011-11-04T21:54:26.406-07:00I'm amazed that you spent an afternoon and fou...I'm amazed that you spent an afternoon and found all this information.

Not the ignorance part so much as the plagiarism and the lack of manners. I've seen a similar phenomenon. I was the first person who did the research and found one of my ggg-grandfathers. The information is still scant, so I am conservative in claims about what we know of him. Now I see him in a number of family trees, and they give a date of birth of 1778. Where they got this, I don't know, but I am fairly sure his DOB is at least 10 years before this. As I look through their trees for this line, it appears that they have patched together information from some old online family trees, because they don't have the maiden name of the wife of my gg-grandfather in this line (which I have). My Ancestry tree for this line is private, because I do not want to make the plagiarism easy; they will have to copy the information from my blog and enter it themselves if they want to copy my research. We are probably lucky that most plagiarists are so lazy. Oh, yeah, I guess that's what makes them plagiarists in the first place.... (P.S. - Can you put a comment on her tree?)Greta Koehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429623811794360612noreply@blogger.com
