    3. Dear Friends, I agree that there is a lot of incorrect information on the internet, but it still is THE most valuable genealogical resource out there. I do use the internet as a guide and I take the information I find on the internet and see if I can find an actual record to substantiate it. You can easily tell the good information from the bad by looking at the sources. Some people list their sources along with the trees or with the notes. I usually write the text of books and articles and put the volume and page numbers of vital records. It is also wise to put the library call no. along with the title of the source. It's fairly easy to tell who is a serious genealogist and who is not by looking at their posts on websites like rootsweb. The serious genealogists document their sources so that anyone who sees the genealogy can find it. Having said that, I am wondering if anyone might help me with a Davenport brick wall. I am seeking information on William Davenport who married Almira Sanders. They are buried in East Lyme Connecticut, but I can find nothing on who William Davenport's parents were. He was a farmer from Montville. I believe his mother may have been a Green(e). Wyatt __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com
