I’ve always downloaded images to my own computer of records I’ve located online. I may not always be able to maintain the subscription to have online access to the image. The site you subscribe to may eventually lose the ability to host the image even if you don’t let your subscription expire. And there’s always the chance that you are unable to find the image again.

Errors are sometimes nothing more than accidents. This 1946 newspaper clipping incorrectly refers to Wilbur Johnson as William Johnson. Situations like this are why it is important to leave some search terms out when searching and search for all the names that may be in a record. And errors of this type are why if one record differs from every other record it could be a simple mistake.
