Yup, I got in today. AARGH! Found errors in my Durfee line. Somehow, a Job
Durfee and Judith Borden born in the late 1700s are show as the parents of
Thomas Durfee b. 1643 (though 1613 birth dates are given for the parents in AF).
But if you look up Job Durfee, you find an IGI marriage record to Judith Borden
in 1820.

I'm sure there will be a LOT of errors like this. The web site people need to
have a feedback button, but they're really looking for problems in the way the
site runs. I don't think they wanted to be flooded with AF corrections right
now. HOWEVER, if anyone on this list has input with the site developers, it
would be REALLY nice if we could submit corrections by e-mail (giving AF file
number of the record in error, of course).

The site does look great. But, of course, it runs more slowly than if you went
to a FHC. On the other hand, no travel time, signing up for a computer, changing
CDs, etc.
