Hi, Eveline I am in agreement with most that you, we should not use one source as fact and there are lots of errors in them. I rely on Census they are flawed. Most Archive data is of original source and should be fact. These are the sources that should be quoted, I agreed. Not all info available is clear and truly totally exact but mostly true. I try to quote a source of Fact as a form of information that I pass on, most of the time, if I have it. I don't put fact to Old wives tales or family stories they soon prove out to be less than half true. I spend most of my time checking family lines, sources is what I have been researching and sorting through now. I am trying to match all Cokers to Census, Cemeteries,Wills, etc. Dwight ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eveline Crocker" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, April 21, 2002 8:01 PM Subject: Re: [Coker] John and Priscilla Coker, Brunswick Co, Va. - 1759 > Dwight and all; > I know of Mr. Boddie's books and research.
