Updated April 22, 2016

Below is a list of other sources consulted when entering data into the genealogical computer program for the families recorded in Cleveland’s History. Each source was not searched exhaustively for each and every surname in the History, so it is possible many entries in these sources have yet to be discovered! Much of the additional information is related to my own ancestral lines in Yates County.
