Yes it is good to pass on your skills to others.
When I really begun genealogy I read books all about it and how it is done, and how there can be errors and omissions in the records. One book said census records were checked for accuracy. However there was no paper trail proving the info given in the census forms was right, the enumerators wrote down what they were told by the householder or anyone else filling out the form.
My 2xgreat gran was born in Sussex but her parents moved to London when she was a baby, and she always said she was born in London in later censuses. Hate to break it to you Kate, up there somewhere lol, but you wasn't. Still a Londoner, just not born there.
