Research

The Research pages collect evidence and offer possibilities regarding several ancestors whose stories have been a challenge to research. Most have undetermined parentage (or have widely reported ancestry that is unconvincing). A research page is provided for each so others can scrutinize the work and collaborate to further the research. Comments are welcome.

Portions of copyrighted images used on this site are intended to be used under "fair use" guidelines and are deemed insubstantial to the entire original work. Copyright owners, please contact with any concerns.
