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! |
