I personally have found some very good Clues and accurate information in the files
of FHC and a good number of times. I prefer to think about that rather than
incorrect information. Remember to accentuate the positive. Be grateful for the
help. I've gotten just as many "wrong" clues from Primary "documents." Just like
"me" life is not always perfect, and records are not either. It's just the way it
is.
God bless.
