familysearch.org not to be trusted
	... I wouldn't trust anything I couldn't verify. My wife supposedly has a link back to the Magna Charta done by a professional researcher but apparently it depends on someone having a child at an unlikely young age although it might have possible. And of course there could be an error in the age. And some of... more » By Brian  - Apr 24 2012 - 2 new of 2 messages

	Viewing the 1940 Census Pages
	... Hi Bob, I think I have used them all now except the familySearch viewer. The census at myheritage is free. You don't have to register.

1940 census search tips to remember later

I d/l "my" GenWeb county and am indexing it on my own. I am also helping index "my" state and two others via FamilySearch. Most of the enumerators I've seen have decent handwriting, so that isn't the problem. But I gotta tell you, someone was running a contest to see which enumerator could misspell the most given names. The surnames seem to suffer less and... more » By singhals  - Apr 21 2012 - 1 new of 1 message

	familysearch.org not to be trusted
	I've long lamented the incompetence and negligence of volunteer indexers at family search.org Then I volunteered to do some myself. Now I think some of the nonsense may be poor judgment and/or carelessness on the part of familysearch. The instructions tell me to assume that I know the geography of seventy... more » By Wes Groleau  - Apr 18 2012 - 3 new of 3 messages

There is a Gedcom that is on that web that was created by distant relative (Died many years ago and can't find anyone who knows any thing about it.) and about the family of my Great Grandmother.
