At least, for the men, it is a good source. May get some blanks at times, and take more than one phone call, but, if I can find them in the USA, and distant cousins in Germany and South Africa, it has got to be reasonably good. http://infobel.com/en/world/index.aspx And, for the women, if you can find marriage and/or children's birth info, you can use the boys to locate the mothers.
