Introduction A Family history is a collective effort. Without the information given by family members and fellow researchers, little progress can be made. In the normal course of events, fellow researchers tend to concentrate on links with other genealogies and archival material.
Family members are usually less clear about the information needed for a genealogy.
This is not the place to go into the reasons for such reluctance, nor am I about to try to advocate the importance of the work. This page is therefore primarily directed at those family members willing to supply the information. Whatever the attitude of family members may be, they are all entitled to the confidential treatment of information collected in a computer database. Birth, Marriage and Death. The place is important in the event that a future researcher may need to verify the source documentation.
