I'm experimenting with posting some random bits of my genealogy research here. The further back you go, the less reliable the information tends to be. Records for those born in the U.S. in the early part of its history can really be hit or miss, especially given that there were numerous opportunities for records to be destroyed over the years.
Sources:
Research comes from a variety of online sources, original documents and personal knowledge. Generally, if the source was from another researcher online, their original sources are used. If you don't see source(s) listed below, try the sources link.
The information below is an extract from a report I generated via the Gramps genealogy software from a family tree I originally created with GenoPro.
