Billeter records errors
I have found some bad errors in the Billeter records, when compared with the original parish registers. The Billeter records can be used for clues, if you want to, but they are no substitute for the real records. The errors that I've found are assumptions on Billeter's part, not taking into account the entire record (sponsors, relationships, etc.) They are serious errors, joining families to wrong people. Nothing should substitute for going back to the original records, especially now that so much of Bern is online.
