Bio

If I post an edit I am both related (or my husband is related) to that person. I have triple checked my work and am certain in the edits I make.
I am working hard to ensure the lines are connected properly so they may help future generations.
I'll be happy to take any page you'd like to turn over for management that my husband or I are related too and offered an edit for.
All of my edits at this time are all direct ancestors and their families.

I Thank everyone on this site who has contributed all their hard work and made this a place to go for reference and information! :) We appreciate you!
I also want to Thank and show my deep appreciation for all those who transferred the memorials to us.
Keeping families with family.

I am working through a ton of documents and I know it can be hard for you if I come back to your page and put in more edits later. I am sorry. But it is either get this information out or it won't get done. I can't work and compile it all as I am working on a big clean out.

References are as follow. Personal knowledge, family knowledge, books, bibles, hand written notes, pictures, court records (death, marriage, birth, land records, lawsuits and wills). church records, census records,cemetery records, town histories, flds (in the early 1990's before internet and the big boom of imported and un-researched trees. I worked hard to have a minimum of 2 solid sources for each person I have in my files.
If I know where a person is buried but it is not in the cemetery records, it is because I have found someone who knew where that person was buried. Or they had it written down somewhere, or found it in the newspaper, or have an old document that proves they were there. A good genealogist can get people to let you look at their stuff, even if you aren't allowed to take photos or make copies. Pens and papers and hand writing what was written were sometimes all I was allowed.
News flash to a few... cemeteries had fires, they had thefts and they moved locations. So, many graves were lost, regardless of how great their records are. Let alone, learn about paupers graves, can be eye opening.

If you are interested and in a closer family line up than us, just ask and am always happy to have family with family. The closer the better.

If you know of anything incorrect, please discuss with me and we can work through. But let me present facts before you assume I didn't do my due diligence.
