Many documents and records that genealogists use contain information that is submitted or given without any attempt made to validate the information. Always ask yourself, is there a chance the informant was misinformed, guessing, lying, or in some other way giving incorrect information that would never be fact-checked by the clerk or contain information whose inaccuracy would later be discovered?
