It also puts Granville Ohio in Franklin County but it is in Licking
County.

Subject: INCORRECT county/city info!!

LLRX article: Reference from Coast to Coast: Searches and Strategies
recommended for locating city/county info a site named
http://www.divorcesource.com.
This site contains INCORRECT information. Do not trust it!

 I put in my home town (Verona, NJ) and it came back as Sussex County.
Verona is in Essex County.

  While viewing that info, I noticed that W.Caldwell and W. Orange, both
also in Essex County, have been placed in two OTHER counties!!! (When
shown using the abbreviation for West as W. the counties are incorrect.
When they spelled out West, they were matched w/the correct county. All
this appears on the same screen.)

  If I found THREE errors in one quick glance, heaven knows how many
more there may be. You don't look up places you know...you'll be
searching for info you don't know...if it's wrong, you won't know until
it's too late.

  The USPS zip code site gives the county when you search for a street
address. They seem to know where Verona is.
