Ah, Sherry, what a great concise discussion of difficulties with records.
Even the wonderful affidavits in various military Pension application files, the first-hand accounts of birthings, marriages and deaths, are statements (usually) of what the affiants believed to be true, and require verification.
I am glad to see a kindred spirit on these boards.
Cheers,
Jade
