Wait - 2921?!  How can I possibly have data on a marriage a thousand years into the future?  Obviously this was a typographical error, and should probably be 1921.  I will have to verify and correct it. 

You might wonder why I post these lists with the errors intact, and in fact highlight many of them.  Well, it's to serve as an example that everyone's data has errors in it.  You will never have an error-free database.  The best you can do is continually work to fix errors when you find them.  Some of the errors are not even your fault!  I sometimes find in later research that an earlier source I found and used had mistakes in it.
