As a genealogist, I'm interested in where the cemeteries are. <smile> I
was just a tiny bit disappointed to find there are no cemeteries shown.
I know the database is derived from the government's Tiger File, but how do
corrections get made? I noticed that the CD-ROM's display of a state park
and a shopping center in my town (Billerica, Mass.) are off by about 1/2
mile from their actual locations.

dick; We do have cemetery locations in our central database and may add
them in a later version. As for corrections, we have a whole department
that researches and updates the data. If you compare us to Tiger you will
find many important Ochanges. I'll look into the placename problem you
pointed out. thanks.

Indicating address number ranges alongside sections of a street would be
nice (e.g. 1000 could be place alongside Main Street near where it cross
1st Avenue, 2000 could be placed near Main where it crossed 2nd Ave.). Of
course this is very often not necessary if there are numbered cross streets
with rational address numbering. But numbered cross streets seem to be
relatively rare. In cases where a street name is searched for in an area
and no addresses are shown the search can result in a very large area being
highlighted with little idea of where the actual address is. Otherwise,
GREAT product. Probably the best general use CD-ROM I have ever seen (and
thats saying something since I work for one of the largest CD-ROM
publishers). Nice job! – Adam
