Coincidence or Incorrect date? I was looking for my gg Uncle in the IGI. Joseph Brannigan, son of John Patrick Brannigan and Mary Dwyer, born @1830
in Ireland. Found Joseph Brannigan, son of John Brannigan and Mary Dwyer, born 1864 in Ireland. Can we trust the dates given?Clarke,
Rob
(Flanagan, Finnegan, Tighe, Brannigan, Kennedy, Conroy, Forsyth(e),
Fitzpatrick, Walsh, Smith and Dwyer)

The IGI is a secondary source, as you will be cautioned at Family Search.
The final responsibility for the accuracy of information lies with the researcher themselves and as a rule no secondary source of information
should be used as the final source but should be corroborated at all times, where possible, in all available records. I have found over the years, to
my consternation, that the accuracy of information becomes less each time it is passed from one source to another. I find it helpful to document the source as well as the information. Far too many people, including my self, have been set astray for long periods by others who state uncorroborated information as indisputable fact. I now use secondary sources as leads to
be followed up.
