Awhile back someone made the suggestion that we subit the line on which we are working on well here mine is. I found "A Broadwater Family History" written by Wayne Bittinger in our local library it is about the Broadwaters of Garrett County, MD. How reliable is someone elses work? how do i use it to stie my sources and how do i go about reproving all that information --it traces my husbands BROADWATER line back to the late 1700's. It has a huge list of sources in the back but since i have not seen them i cant use them as my own right????? 1 Thomas Jefferson "Tommy" BROADWATER Birth: 24 Feb 1849, Garrett County, MD Death: 19 Apr 1917 Burial: Broadwater Cemetery-savage River, New Germany Road Father: William B "Little Bill" BROADWATER Mother: Hester BROADWATER Spouse: Mary Jane Elizabeth "Betty" MILLER Birth: 22 May 1848, Garrett County, MD Death: 17 Aug 1911 Children: Rachael Annie (1872-1947) Carrie Viola (1875-1966) Ezra A (1878-1958) Max Olen (1881-1958) unknown (-<1900) Lula Hester (1889-1972) 1.1 Rachael Annie BROADWATER KNOX ---------------------------------------- Birth: 14 Jun 1872, Garrett County, MD Death: 29 Oct 1947 Burial: IOOF Cemetery , Elk Garden, Mineral Co., WV Spouse: Charles Hezekiah KNOX Birth: 19 Feb 1870, Swanton , MD Death: 8 Dec 1948, Vindex, MD Father: Joseph KNOX Mother: Mary GREEN Marr: ca 1890 Children: Estella Gertrude (1892-1962) Lawerence E (ca1896-) Howard F Nina Russell J (ca1904-) Dorsey Carl (ca1908-ca1964) Dorthey ???????
