I am not LDS. I have accessed one of the new collections recently and found errors. What can one do about this? See below. The bride's date of birth should be 6 July 1837 not 6 Dec 1837. The place of marriage was not Karby, but Redsted. I know this from the online Danish Archives which show original images. I verified the correct details with the image of the marriage record and the death record for Else Anderson.
Denmark Marriages, 1635-1916 Groom's Name: Peter Villadsen Groom's Age: 24 Bride's Name: Else Andersen Bride's Birth Date: 06 Dec 1837 Bride's Age: 29 Marriage Date: 12 Oct 1866 Marriage Place: Karby, Thisted, Denmark Indexing Project (Batch) Number: M01212-8 System Origin: Denmark-EASy Source Film Number: 410117 Reference Number: 5-185-6 There was no image associated with this LDS record. I just want to warn people that not all these types of records are error free.

I think everyone is aware of the record search pilot, right? Thousands of people are digitizing records daily, mostly LDS but the general public is welcome and encouraged to be involved in this project as well; and lots of non-LDS people are doing this too. There are loads of US and foreign records on the site for everyone to search and use in their research FREE of charge as always. New collections are added to the database regularly as they are completed and verified. Many collections even have the images available for you to download FREE as well. There will be some databases that will have images linked to a subscription site because of the arrangements made between that site and the church in exchange for being allowed to index the records but those will be a very small percentage of the whole; I'm not even sure if there are any like that thus far.
