Hi AdrianB38,
I wish I was  as confident as you with regard to the percentage of my ancestors that were baptised, married, and buried  in a graveyard or cemetery. Unless of my ancestors moved away and then moved back, or lived in the place were the records are missing.

Still I will keep on trying to find them

Regards
Brian

Hah - I'm not at all confident! It's just that evidence has been pushing my feelings about baptisms towards a higher end of the % scale than I had at first thought likely, based on the evidence up to then.

I've also been disconcerted by the number of errors I've found in the originals. Given that we need corroboratory evidence to prove an error - what about the cases where corroboration doesn't exist? Having said that, of course, errors aren't going to account for a whole family's omission. And if it is an error rather than a total omission, it still doesn't help if we can't work out the truth!

As you say - keep on trying!
