Mitchell sent me something and I think it is okay with him to post to the list. Look it over and post any other ideas to the list so we can all get a shot at it.<G> Tell us (the list) what you think.-Bill ======================================================= i'VE SPENT THE BETTER PART OF THE EVENING DOING A LITTLE OF WHAT I THOUGHT MIGHT HELP CLEARIFY THE CONCEPT OF A TIMELINE WITH SOURCES. SEE ATTACHMENT AS DEMO. Maybe some discussion would > help to. WHAT DO YOU THINK. we need to zero in on the 1620-1790 Sapp's. Via a concerted and well directed plan. Here is my proposal: We know that they came into "America" or were born around 1620-40. Do we have other names beside John Sapp? We need a range of approx. Birth / death dates for each individual. Lets devise a master chart only to show these birth, residence and death events: Now put in the dates of the earliest Sapps mentioned. Get the idea. This will give us some idea of the causes of migration/imigration to America. That will in turn give us geographical areas, ideas and time frames to search for records.
