Any genealogical information can contain errors and electronic information is no exception.
While electronic data is easier to manipulate and use, it is not inherently better because of its form. Our discussion today will focus on electronic reprints of previously published materials. The responsibility of the electronic publisher generally rests with recreating the original printed material as closely and as accurately as possible in an electronic format. This accuracy relates to how the electronic edition is a verbatim copy of the originally published book. With materials whose original copyright has run out, the publisher is reprinting the original material, not updating or correcting it.
