I would think the fact that the family is in a totally different state would be one clue that the information should be double-checked. People move around a lot, but it still needs to be checked.
I would think the fact that the names don't totally match would be one clue that the information should be double-checked. The handwriting on the census makes deciphering tough, but it still needs to be checked.
I would think the fact that the race doesn't match would be one clue that the information should be double-checked. I haven't found any records where the race has been wrong, but it is possible and it still needs to be checked.
Together the three facts above should make you realize the information is WRONG! Yet, you posted it on your family tree, and dang it, people are just blindly adding it to their tree.
