Reply to: Perils of taking census records as the gospel truth by Cleveland Kent Evans
Even modern birth certificates can be wrong. My sister Rebecca never had occasion to get a copy of her birth certificate until she was an adult. When it arrived, we were all very surprised to see that her name was spelled "Rebbecca." It must have been a clerical error.
