Removals & corrections
How this project stewards the historical records it maps, and how to reach us about a correction or a removal.
Our stance
Gathering Greenwood maps the public census records of people who made their lives in Greenwood generations ago. We share them so the community can remember Greenwood and the people who built it — and we hold them with care for the descendants who carry that memory forward. These are public-domain records; even so, we take every concern about them seriously.
Corrections and Removals
If a record misreads a name, an address, or any other detail from its original source, tell us. We honor good-faith corrections so the public record stays as faithful to its source as we can make it.
We consider removals one at a time, at the project’s discretion, out of respect for descendants and the Greenwood community. When we remove a record, it stops appearing on these public surfaces, and every public link and detail that leads to it is withdrawn with it. We consider all requests carefully — we don’t apply a blanket rule in either direction.
Reaching us
Send corrections and removal requests through our feedback form. We handle every request privately.
