Notes |
- (DJS) I have left the notes below as an example of how indexes can be wrong. I previously stated in my notes that I believed that the index of this marriage record at the FamilySearch.org web site contained errors. Upon reviewing the microfilm, my suspicions proved correct. The indexes were wrong and the images of the original documents revealed the correct names of the individuals I had expected to find. When in doubt, go to the source. Immediately following this new note is an older note where I expressed my suspicion of the record indexes.
- Below is a record of a marriage that is of questionable quality in the index where found. There are things that are right and yet, just as many that are wrong, that perhaps this record is a mix of multiple marriages between two families. Don't trust this indexed document without retrieving true copies from Jessamine County, Kentucky.
