When doing research on your family do not forget to check out the town and county sources and histories. http://www.rootsweb.com home page has a link down the left side of the page to towns and counties. The screen that comes up will let you enter only a town or a town and state. If you know that your ancestors were in Hancock but not the state, putting in the city name will get you the counties and states for all the Hancocks in the country. There are a lot of links on these pages for all kinds of records you will not find elsewhere. When you connect, be sure to scroll all the way down the page to see all the sources, not just the search boxes. Bette
