With regard to citing sources when doing your research, be reminded that the most successful researchers always keep an open mind as there are always possible exceptions.  Any piece of data entered in any media by man is subject to interpretation errors, even though unintentional.  You need to establish a point where you “draw the line” as to what you choose to believe – or not believe.  It has to feel ‘right’ to you.  Always, to the degree you can do so, use multiple sources whenever possible.  Keep track of these sources in your family file.  This is critical as new, or different, information on any particular person can become available at any given time and you will want to cross-check the references you choose to use.  Good luck in your research.  Bill Fleming
