Pedigree Resource File CDs



As a matter of interest, has anyone used the LDS's Pedigree Resource
File CDs and can comment on the general level of accuracy of
the information on them? I mean the actual CDs and not Pedigree
Resource File at FamilySearch. I'm afraid that my experience of looking
at PRFat www.familysearch.org rather suggests that they are as
unreliable as Ancestral File and the private patron submissions in the IGI,
if the following entry is any indication of the general standard.

Hannah Guy (below) may have been my 3-times great-grandmother (I
have further checks to do. However, you will see that she appears to
have died and been buried at Armley in 1772 and then married at Leeds
St Peter's in 1796. Quite an achievement! I have omitted the submitter's
details to spare her blushes, but I will probably try and contact her to seek
an explanation since for once she's in the UK. Maybe it is a simple
transcription error and a different burial date is actually given on the disc
or more likely the submitter simply muddled up two different Hannah
Guys, one of whom died as an infant.

I rarely ask for anything for myself here but if anyone happens to have
Pedigree Resource File CD 57 to hand, I would appreciate a dates check
and knowing what the alleged sources are. If not, I think we have them at
the SoG and I will look next time I go in.
