Genealogy software programs are great at helping us to manage data. But don’t rush to enter information when you are uncertain about the relationships. I’m working on a “new” family. The only information I have on them is one 1870 census enumeration. The household is headed by a man, but based upon the ages, the oldest female can’t be the mother of all those who appear to be children. Before I start putting any relationship information on this family in my genealogy software program, I need to work on obtaining more details about their relationships. Haste in data entry leads to mistakes. ———————————— Check out GenealogyBank’s Offer for Tip of the Day Fans!
