Welcome
I've been researching my family history since the early 1990's. Sources for the information on this site include information provided by relatives, birth/census/church/death/marriage/military records, newspapers, and online genealogy sites. Anyone that is serious about genealogy, knows that records from the above sources often have mistakes including the spelling of a name, the year/place the person was born, and the real name - men listed in the census records are often listed with their first name one decade & their middle name the next. In instances where there is a common name (e.g. Joseph Whittington) in a small area (e.g. Jefferson County, WV) in the same or multiple generations, some assumptions have been made when piecing the family tree together. If the exact place of birth is not known, I've used the location from the census record that is closest to the person's birth year. Where possible, I have validated dates of birth/death/marriage with official records.
