I haven't used it much - but any of of the various indexed sources can have mistakes in transcribing handwriting! I would have thought it much less likely - but not impossible - in transcribing printed records as well

It depends what you mean by "how accurate". As with any site there will be mistakes made when the records were compiled and even more mistakes when they were transcribed. The people who do the work are only human so there are bound to be some inaccuracies but hopefully not too many.

It really depends on what records you are looking at and how accurate your own information is.

Anyone know how accurate FmyP is? it's just that I've given someone info that I found on the above site (and believe it to be right) and they're querying it?
