Please check other sources before accepting my information. I update the RootsWeb information often. I have tried to find the names of my female ancestors, some lost to history. It takes a HEAP of research into allied families to (sometimes) find their original birth name since many were married several times. Please let me know if you see any familiar There is usually a complete tree posted in a family, if you go back far enough. Sometimes it takes charting out an entire family just to figure out where my family fits in (or DOESN'T!). I start by getting clues on the web, then researching them further in books and other sources. Of course, I haven't gotten to everyone, this is an organic process, I am constantly adding names, correcting, deleting, and supplementing information. Check b I think Ancestry incorporates our trees into their "unknown" contributor trees, so outdated information may be all over the place. Please double-check all information before you use it. This tree is on the Internet to share, feel free to use it as you need for your research. The more information we get out there, the better for all of our research!
