  1. Just got through looking at that website. You’re right — information may be inaccurate and wrong conclusions may be reached due to mixing up folks with the same or similar name. I looked at info for some of my relatives. Much of it was incorrect and OCR didn’t read things correctly. On the other hand, it does provide clues. It would be nice to know what records were used to supply this data.
