About This Blog

This blog is my notes on my family history research.  Accuracy is important to me, and I try my best.  Please keep in mind that total accuracy is impossible when trying to reconstruct one's past from available sources.

I look for information from many sources:
  • Paid genealogical sites.
  • Free genealogical sites.
  • Interviews, and
  • From memory-my own and others.

Some of the posts here will have no direct connection to my family history, but I am OK with that.  Genealogy is a time consuming process and I like to deviate from time to time since most of my ancestors have not left an easy trail to follow.  I try to update old post when new discoveries are made, so check back once and awhile.

Please feel free to comment and ask questions.
