Vanessa WoodAn error in a court house record could be a bit of spilled ink or a misspelled name. What happens to research when the clerk of the county court gets confused and says the wrong person is dead? How far down the research rabbit hole does that misinformation send a genealogist? Is the genealogist left chasing a wild goose. I chose to write an article to forewarn other researchers. William C. Gregory was ALIVE!
