Before sending a message, putting information in your genealogical database, or posting family history information online: proofread–one more time.

Make certain you’ve copied that date and location correctly, double check that interpretation of a word or a phrase, re-evaluate that conclusion, and see that words are spelled correctly. Grammar errors are not really the end of the world, but errors of a “factual” nature can be difficult to remove once they’ve been posted online and someone has copied them.

One last read over never hurts.
