Why am I getting two nearly identical results for what I presume to be the same records, except for the batch and source film numbers? This has happened a number of times in the Virginia Marriages and Virginia Births and Deaths databases. How do I cite these? <br /><br />ie: J.H. Holland/S.J. Stringfield marriage in Isle of Wight County, VA 3 Mar 1898. One result shows groom's father's name as Ed, the other Elwin. Batch and source film numbers are different. Why?<br /><br />I'm awfully spoiled being able to contribute corrections to Ancestry's database, can that be done at familysearch too?Robin in Short Pumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05726872348079992947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-46794834981942996672011-08-19T20:31:21.510-06:002011-08-19T20:31:21.510-06:00Dear Readers,

One reason the Insider mentions that I am partially responsible, is because I'm one of those they go to for citation direction.<br /><br />-- The writer of the InsiderThe Ancestry Insiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490682912125335188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-81415807455159055392011-07-12T08:09:59.277-06:002011-07-12T08:09:59.277-06:00The SSDI page in the FamilySearch Research Wiki yo...The SSDI page in the FamilySearch Research Wiki you refer to is one created by FamilySearch when the updates and collections are added to the Historical Record Collections. Those pages are added by the FamilySearch folks who may or may not be reading your posts. I agree with your comments but it seems the comments are directed more at those who create the pages initially. I suggest that you make the comments (or let me make the comments) in the context of the Wiki Forums. Just so you know, I am the Moderator for Utah and Arizona and one of the Wiki Support Team members. We would be glad to discuss any changes you might suggest at our weekly meetings. I might comment back in my Blog posts, if I get some time.James Tannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02989059644120454647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-41751915711198431202011-07-12T03:54:02.910-06:002011-07-12T03:54:02.910-06:00One perspective I really love is "we are goin...One perspective I really love is "we are going to keep this as standard because that's the way it is in the Family History Library Catalog." What does it take to change a) inaccurate (or merely incomplete) names of publications or microfilmed records; b) inaccurate classification of records?Geoloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050268303916428230noreply@blogger.com
