Genealogy software programs are great at helping us to manage data. But don't rush to enter information when you are uncertain about the relationships.
I'm working on a "new" family. The only information I have on them is one 1870 census enumeration. The household is headed by a man, but based upon the ages, the oldest female can't be the mother of all those who appear to be children.
Before I start putting any relationship information on this family in my genealogy software program, I need to work on obtaining more details about their relationships.
Haste in data entry leads to mistakes.
