It was far superior than the certified copy for a great uncle that I received from the PA Dept of Health six years ago. The copy machine did not like the blue ink on the certificate.

There are many errors, even when the information was typed.<br /><br />It is an excellent boon for this collection that the reader can add corrections for parents' names and birth places as extracted.Geoloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050268303916428230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-8184420322863640622014-07-02T13:59:50.411-07:002014-07-02T13:59:50.411-07:00Almost all of my ancestors came and stayed in PA. ...Almost all of my ancestors came and stayed in PA. Each time I find an error, and there have been a few, I send a correction to Ancestry.<br /><br />The most exciting part for me was to find the maiden name for my 2x great grandmother.

It appears that the people who worked on this are not entirely comfortable with cursive or not located in the US. I found a relative who died in "Pittsburgh, Oa" and another who was born in "Moline, Hleriois." You may want to try wildcards when searching for surnames as they also may be transcribed incorrectly. But it's still a great resource!Joanne Cowdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03393984608033941905noreply@blogger.com
