This is a very interesting site. Especially the fraudulent lineages link. You will probably find information on one or more of your early American families here. Be sure to look at all of it, the explanations, source codes, etc. http://www.linkline.com/personal/xymox/ I am just an amateur that happens to have been "doing" genealogy for over 40 years and am the historian for the Bunker Family Assn. I do not "own" any of these links and suggestions that I send. In the process of doing my own research, I stumble across some interesting and useful links and try to share them. You can do anything you want with them from ignoring them to claiming them as your own. I just try to help people as I have been helped for so many years. I do recommend a couple newsletters. Dick Eastman's at http://www.eogn.com and Rootweb review at Rootsweb.com. http://www.rootsweb.com still remains the best, in my opinion, of the free sites. You have to get past the search box linking to Ancestry.com but once beyond that this site has lots and lots of information. And http://www.cyndislist.com has more links to everything than you will find any place. Another thing I recommend is using your favorites or bookmark feature to mark your favorite sites as they are updated usually. In addition, you may want to go back there and look again. Or you can make a folder marked genealogy links and put them all in there too with a description of what is on there. I have been waiting for the Linn Co, IA cemetery transcriptions to get to the g's to look up some of my ancestors so I keep checking that site. I would forget the link if it was not for the fact that it is in my favorites. Bette
