The problem with programs and websites that pre-fill in data is that it’s easy for the user to not really pay attention to what is going on. I’m working on sorting out individuals with the name of Anson Butler who lived in several counties in New York and Michigan. This includes Genesee County, New York and Genesee County, Michigan. If I’m not careful on data entry, I could easily get the locations incorrect. Take a second or a third look when entering in places, particularly if they have the same or very similar names. I’m just glad they also didn’t spend time in Geneseo, Illinois.
