These are family history articles we have written to share what we know (or think we know) about a particular ancestor, ancestral line, or someone else who caught our interest. Warning: we both have a serious grudge against genealogists who do not cite their sources. We try not to commit that sin, so our articles typically have a wealth of footnotes identifying our sources. We use four main sources: (1) county records, such as deeds, wills, tax lists, court records, etc.; (2) abstracts of such original records; (3) non-county records such as the federal census, state censuses, and military records; and (4) books. We don’t use family trees available on the web because those do not constitute evidence. They are just opinions and, frequently, fiction.
