Sorry, I wasn't bashing the data. I should add that changing borders and disputed state lines had to have been confusing to the inhabitants. If your information was less than current you could easily tell someone you lived in a neighboring state. I had ancestors born in Amelia Co VA that could have been almost anywhere by today's definitions. Not knowing exactly where/when they were talking about has driven a bunch of us to distraction.
