I was wondering about this a few days ago. When a document is transcribed and posted on the internet, is it usually considered authentic enough to be counted as "proper documentation"? As a "for instance": http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ma/county/hampden/spfld/records/vr.html As long as I make sure there are several other means of documenting dates, etc, would you trust apage like this? Or do most of you prefer photocopies of the actual record? Pat in Montana To subscribe, change options, or unsubscribe please see the instructions at http://listlva.lib.va.us/archives/va-roots.html
