• General Notes

  For those who may mistakenly believe that because I've posted my genealogy online that I'm claiming that it is MY OWN PERSONAL RESEARCH - IT IS NOT. I owe most of it to hundreds of researchers who have helped me over the past 50+ years who have more expertise and better access to primary sources than I have.
  
  I have purposely omitted many sources out of respect, but some I have also included, for that same reason. Some information here is "on speculation only" in the hope that someone will respectfully share corrections with me. Please be aware, that as with EVERY genealogy - there are errors in here!
  
  Also, this is not a religion with me, it is just sort of a 'sacred hobby' to learn more about my own roots in order to pass it on to family members who have also been bitten by the 'Genealogy bug' after I've gone.
