Coles of Devon Errata (56.html)
Coles of Devon.
This is a downloadable copy of "The Genealogy of the Family of Cole of the County of Devon and of those of its branches which settled in Suffolk,
Hampshire, Surrey, Lincolnshire, and Ireland," by James Edwin Cole in 1867 ISBN: 1141224526 in RTF format. This format is readable using wordprocessors
such as MicroSoft Word. This is an update of the roll written in 1630 by Sir William Segar, Knt and published ca.1867 by Burke. This old book by Cole: Coles
of Devon. . . . , was photocopied and
digitized by Google. The digitized (by Optical Character Recognition: OCR) text was proofread and edited by the Author (DKC). The main persons mentioned in the book, Coles of Deven, were
converted into a family tree in GEDCOM format named "colesofdevon" by the author (DKC). This GEDCOM was uploaded to WorldConnect, where it is available for download.
Almost every book contains errors, typographical mistakes and factual errors. After this book was typeset in 1867,
the author identified many errors and included them in the Errata section at the back of the book. After Google
created images of the pages, it passed the book through an OCR process to produce a text version of the book. This
OCR process created many errors as well. The current editor (David Cole) editted the text version to eliminate many
of these errors, when he produced the Editted Book (in rtf format) above. He has not yet produced a second version
of the Editted Book. The known errors in the Editted Book (in rtf format) are listed in the text file above, named
Editted Book Errata (in txt format). If you discover any additional errors, please send them to the WebMaster below.
It is David COLE's intention to include all errata about this book in updates of this article.
