[or-roots] errors

[Leslie Chapman]

Mimi;

I can certainly understand that. In my attempt to compile a database for one
cememtery, after error checking section one for the third time, I gave a
printout to another memeber of the genealogy society for a "final" proof. I
still had almost a hundred errors.

I finally learned that the only way I can get them correct is take a picture
and transcribe from that; I should be down to just 20 or 30 errors per
section.

As one of the volunteers who has worked on this database the past five years
I hope all of you will be a little tolerant when you find errors! This has
been a monumental project requiring checking and more checking. We realize
that it is not perfect but hope that you will welcome it as an additional
tool in your Oregon research! It is still a work in progress.

By the way, DC stands for Death Certificate - Donation Land Claim is DLC.
