What kind of errors can be made with military service and residence?
Example, you may have three (3) George Rodgers living in the same state, county, and even township for that approximate time period. You could have father, son, and grandfather with the same names, or father, son, uncle, and maybe a cousin with the same name. The ages could also be very close. This becomes confusing in research. 1. When you are checking books on military service and residence, they may not give you enough detailed information about the family to make sure you have the correct connection. 2. When you find more than one name, it is best to do a time line on each name to follow his residence and family history. 3. Always check more than one source for information on your ancestor’s military service.
