Is it a bit like an adoption: there is a legal or accepted relationship AND a blood one? If I ever get the legal blood ones finished I plan to do the adoptive bloodline. To my mind BOTH are important but someone told me I was wrong and should only do the MALE bloodline Elizabeth ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michelle Edwards" <shelledwards@optusnet.com.au> To: <AUSTRALIA-CEMETERIES-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, April 11, 2003 9:43 PM Subject: [[AUS-CEM]] What to do? > I have a situation > > I have got to my GG father, who was born a Fox, his father died and his mother remarried a Holmes whilst my GG father was young, therefore my GG father 'adopted' the name Holmes and married etc under this name, however when doing family research - should you also research his 'real' name being FOX to make it an accurate family tree? > > What do you do in this circumstance? > > > ==== AUSTRALIA-CEMETERIES Mailing List ==== > ================================================================== > Cemetery Records on line:- > http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~batman/ > ================================================================== > > ============================== > To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 >

hmmm, I have being continuing along the 'adoptive' line as it is Holmes which is my grandmothers maiden name, I guess you continue so far until you get stuck and then try the other...another stick situation is - do you follow up on the 'convicts child to another convict but never married and never mentioned on any certificate's - it is a catch 22 - how many lines off the tree can you have to show the real story???? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eliz Cook" <Elizcook@ains.net.au> To: <AUSTRALIA-CEMETERIES-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, April 11, 2003 9:55 PM Subject: [[AUS-CEM]] Re: [[AUS-CEM]] What to do? > Is it a bit like an adoption: there is a legal or accepted relationship AND > a blood one? > If I ever get the legal blood ones finished I plan to do the adoptive > bloodline.
