Hello Arizona Researchers: Many of you are unaware of the great amount of data that you may need can be located within published lineages that you may have discarded because you thought they covered another line. For instance a title may say "The Smith Family" or something similar and since you have no Smiths in your line, you do not take time to pursue it further. Make it a point to always check the index of any reference work you locate. You just may turn up those missing surnames that continue to elude you. As an example of what you may find is the lineage of the well known genealogist Mrs. Mellcene Thurman Smith used by her in 1929 to qualify for membership in the Daughters of The American Colonists. The lineage of Mrs. Smith contains much data on many of her ancestors that may be of help to some of you. Unlike many direct line lineages she has gone into her allied lines by listing wives, marriage dates, death dates and birth dates and also a few words on who these people were. The lines represented are mostly all from Massachusetts and New England On this file I have included names of some of her ancestors to show just what can be done with a line. All this was compiled before before the advent of computers! This complete file is listed on our web site and you will find the URL at the end of this message. Some of her many Ancestors are.

Once you get there you will be looking for the link FAMILY PAGES INDEX which you will enter. On the Family Index Page enter SOURCE FILE #20 We also have other numbered source files located there that contain similar type of information on other lines and from other areas of the country. I hope this data will enable you to clear up some of those "Brick Walls" that we all experience from time to time. Needless to say it is very important to prove everything you download from the internet. NEVER just accept a listing until you have proven that the sources are acceptable. Everyone has FREE access to all our web site and the reports contained there. The very best to all of you. Harold Oliver Director America's First Families
