I am beginning to understand what you mean. I have a cousin that I just found while researching the family genealogy, and he has given me some of the connections but anything beyond gggGrandfather John Q Adams (married to Catherine Booher) is from other sources. This cousin is a professor, and I'm sure has very carefully checked on his info( far more so than I...since I am just a beginner, and a complete amateur). So, the Boone connection is from other researchers & is info that I have found. I don't know how far I'll go with all of this. I really do love it. I Just started a couple of weeks ago researching the family genealogy. But I do not live in the state that the majority of my ancestors came to (PA) upon arriving to US and most of them stayed in PA. So, I am very limited in being able to actually get documents, of much. I am relying on computer related research. I come from rather large families, on both sides, and knew that I would run into others researching the same families. I was hoping that someone would have something solid, at least enough that we could research in collaberation then. Genealogy is enjoyable, but I already finding that it can be a bit disheartening! Ah, well! In a few weeks all my work load (for my job) will be eased up then maybe I can do more. In the meanwhile, thank you for you help!!!! Have a great one! ~Searching Family Tree surnames...
