Somebody just sent me this. Considering our chief source of conversation the last few days, I thought ya'll would enjoy it, too. SOURCES JUST SLOW ME DOWN The people are what it's all about, so I don't worry about sources. If I find an ancestor with the last name Smith, I just go ahead and link them to Captain John Smith and his Pocahontas. Last name of Carson? I have them descend from Kit Carson, the famous pioneer. If their last name is King, I figure I can go ahead and show descent from King Richard the Lionhearted, because he was a king that I like. After you do it for awhile, it gets easier and easier to link your family to really interesting people. Sure you have to be a little more creative than those fuddy-duddy, goody-goody source-quoting weirdos. Sometimes I have to invent individuals to connect things up right but I figure they *could* have existed, right? And this way my genealogy is really interesting, my family loves it and it saves time! My Motto: What the heck, who's going to check? We all know this person! He/She has a different name to each of us.
