Allen, et al. All sources whether they are on the internet or a library or first hand accounts should be viewed with suspicion. I found a source that said my grandfather died in infancy.! Everyone makes mistakes in their research and that includes our ancestors who made the history. Some Grandma's and Gramdpa's couldn't spell their own name and they were trying to explain to a census taker who was barely illiterate and possibly drunk. All sources are only "tools" that we use to find out the truth. To get the accurate facts, we cannot overlook any data....right or not. We need to use all and search them out whether it is a broken down cemetery, or a grocery bill, or compendium of data. The internet is one of the greatest tools since genealogy began with Moses. But, it isn't a god to be worshiped. The Handi -book is still great for a quick reference! I like the Source, too. (Thank you Arlene and all!) I wish I had had tools like this when I started 40 years ago. We were overjoyed when the Family History Library in Salt Lake City got its first photocopier! No one was able to use it, except the "one" librarian ha!! Many things have changed in this world. One thing has remained constant. Genealogy, to do it right, costs money. Including those week visits to Salt Lake and other libraries and the trips to great great Grandma's house. But, if you are going to do it right and make the excusion and the hours of research and the money really worthwhile. and check out the source. Little things make a big difference. Recheck the data. That's why they call it "re-search." But thank heavens for youngsters! I know my research will not be in vain as long as you keep coming. Just remember, they are only tools! The tools can make us excellent skaters, as Allen said, or "fallers." Happy hunting and Great successes! Nancy
