For some reason, the threads on problem reports are always closed before resolution.

ERROR REPORT - Georgia Headright and Bounty Land Records, 1783-1909

In January 2023, I reported a problem with the records in this set, especially for Franklin County, Georgia. Some, but not all, have been transplanted to New Jersey.

My original thread has now been closed meaning I can't comment there. I'm working in that record set again today, and I still see problems.

@SerraNola Please and thanks.

I revisited the collection today, and there are still over 1,200 records still categorized in New Jersey for a collection that ONLY pertains to the state of Georgia.

Sorry, I took your numbers and added them to the report for this collection but forgot to respond to you. As always, I am grateful for your help.

Thanks @SerraNola. I brought this problem up again because the numbers from my previous report had decreased significantly but the fix was obviously not complete.

Thanks.
