This particular question actually precedes the "online tree era" where notes on the family were made on pieces of paper and hand copied around. <br /><br />I've had a lot of luck with this individual, finding his marriage notice in the English church registers and have a lot on his children, but things sort of founder out with him. <br /><br />I find with these handwritten notes that I absolutely *have* to visit the place in question to find the record of what was originally written in. I've hired genealogists before who didn't find anything for me, and when I made the trip, I found the research I needed. Of the 3 pages I received, so far 85% of the notes have been right on (with some mistakes for folks going by middle names, etc.). Of course, they aren't that detailed so that makes the batting average easier to achieve, so to speak. <br /><br />I'll keep working on his descendants, whom I've got quite a bit for, from England, into Canada, and then the US.Crafting in Yoohoovillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08223824425648008880noreply@blogger.com
