Sources
I thought it important to show you exactly where I've looked while doing all this research. Some sources
yielded a lot of information, others some, and a few none at all. Most were forthcoming in providing information;
some needed a bit of coaxing; others were downright lazy in their responsiveness (or lack thereof). That's the way
it is with genealogical research. I've classified them by category.

There are other sources I couldn't remember. You'll just have to believe me when I say there's more. And this doesn't
even include all the genealogy books and CDs I've purchased over the years. Nor does it include all the individuals I've
encountered along the way and how they helped. You know who you are, and I thank you for all the family
photos, gravesite photos, and obit information you've provided. If you would like to see the expenses that go
along with this kind of research, feel free to check out my Expenses page.
Happy Hunting!
