Some newspaper distortions are not caused by missing text, but by too much text. Many historic newspapers were printed on thin, inexpensive paper that allowed ink from the reverse side of the page to show through. To a human reader, the effect is usually a minor distraction. To OCR software, however, bleed-through can be disastrous. […]
Two people with the same name can quietly become one—and ruin years of research.

When two people share the same name, live in the same area, or are close in age, it is easy to assume […]

Not every newspaper distortion is caused by poor reporting, damaged paper, or OCR software. Sometimes the problem originated on the printing press itself. Excess ink, worn rollers, misaligned type, and ghost images from adjacent pages could blur or distort printed text before the newspaper ever reached a reader. While human readers often interpreted these imperfections […]

One of the most common genealogy mistakes is assuming that once you’ve found one record, you’ve found everything you need to know about an ancestor.
