The Beers book is considered a "compiled source" as opposed
to an "original source" (like a death certificate, will, deed, etc.)
In the case of Beers, much of the information came directly from
the families alive in 1882. The ancestral detail that these living family
members provided is conceivably inaccurate due to the nature
of human memory.
