One always has to take transcriptions with a grain of salt. In readying myself for a presentation in a few weeks, I was reviewing information on a family from the Chicago area. In looking at the database of Cook County, Illinois marriages from 1871 to 1920 on FamilySearch, I found an entry that looked a little strange.
Sure enough a look at the marriage license indicated that Frame was "of Kensington," not that he was born there. That little "of" makes a big difference.
It always pays to go to the original. Always.
