Re: the library v. the internet

There have been inaccuracies all the way while we have been researching our family and there may still be some incorrect facts and relationship ties but we will never know if there are only a limited number of research sources. In my opinion, inaccuracies are better off corrected rather than introduced. I think that to destroy detailed and painstaking research is foolish but an author is entitled to do whatever he wants with his creations.

A branch of my family tree comes to dead stop in 1603 because someone in history decided that certain pages of a marriage register should be removed.

We will never know who this person was and we will never know why they removed the pages. Perhaps to cover up an embarrassing episode? What future generations of our family will wonder about, is what happened but we will never know.
