CAUTION: These
are FAMILY HISTORY and RESEARCH sites.
The information they offer is presented in good faith, but do not accept
it as fact unless it is supported by sound evidence (look for references
to sources noted in the data).
As with most research, at times some of the data can be incorrect, misleading
and/or incomplete and even some of what is "certain" may later be shown
to be in error as more evidence surfaces.
Remember, there is no absolute certainty of anyone's lineage because
of mistakes, falsehoods, undocumented adoptions, etc. Mistakes were
and are made in hospitals, clerks and priests have inadvertently made errors
recording information, children have been adopted and no records were kept,
with the children never knowing they were adopted, secret affairs resulted
in children with a different father than the one recorded, men accepted
the children of women as their own without ever telling anyone, etc.
Not even DNA testing is 100% certain.
Family history lets us remember and honor our ancestors and it gives us
a sense of our heritage and the struggles our forebears endured to make
us what we are today. Use the information carefully, check the sources
and verify -- and enjoy your family history adventure! |
