Ancestry Errors Wiki

Subscription genealogy websites such as Ancestry.com and Fold3.com (formerly Footnote.com) provide a tremendous service by placing digital record images online and thus increasing our access to these records. Unfortunately, occasional errors in imaging, programming, or organization defeat the purpose of these websites by limiting our ability to access some of the records. This wiki exists to notify genealogists of such errors, so that we can view the relevant records until the errors are corrected.
