It has become more of a scatter-gun approach; results are achieved by accident in many cases, or by piggybacking on someone else's work and adapting it to fit their line - without verifying or asking for original-source citations. Well, I'd say the reason we don't have citations because, we don't have access to the information that would give us the citations...not to mention, some folks don't know where their ancestors came from ...:) or which county they might be in, in a given state...:) How many ancestors moved methodically...:) The other problem, there just aren't enough references available...and most of the genealogy going on the web is just a rehash of what's already published...no NEW resources or references... _________________________________________________________________ Is your PC infected?
