Since the Mormon site "www.familysearch.com" started last year I've been visitiing frequently. If you haven't been there visit, its worth the trip, especially for those researching families like the Eachus's. I have noticed what I believe to be an error in some of the records. As we all know, MANY of our Eachus ancestors lived in Chester County and in East & West Goshen (near West Chester Pa).
The Problem: The IGI records for a number of Eachus's show Goshen in Clearfield County (up near State College) as the place of birth!!!
This has to be a mistake...
Can anyone confirm for sure???? I believe the database was populated by mormon volunteers who reviewed direct records. They probably had place of birth (i.e. Goshen) and wanted to enter a county so they looked it up (just a guess).
In any case the mormon site is a great resource but there will be errors.
See ya...
