Data Sources

Most of the family tree data is from:

public records, such as are available in county vital records offices and from genealogy collections, such as those at area "Family History Centers". And even collected from newspaper mentions;
recollections and records of an immediate family member;
original sources such as census records, or
published family trees of other individuals, focusing on those with detailed notes and identified sources.

This site includes source references for many (but not all) of the items, citing either another researcher or an original source.
