      ab: In this article the author offers advice on researching genealogies. He states that however reliable family members or other authorities may generally be, human memory is not perfect, so checking out their stories is important, as is double checking with other sources. He also advises the importance of maintaining paper records as a foil to computer problems. His final recommendation is to be aware that spellings have changed over the years, and to understand that not all errors are deliberate on a genealogist's part.
