How do you know without going there your ancestors are the ones they have in their records?

OK soap box time: Send a self address stamped envelope with a letter asking for info. In the letter put the given name, surname, date of death or about time or if you want marriage certificates and bonds try to give both bride and groom names. This is what I do. I have a column for given name leaving it blank for them to fill in but I have a column for the surname that I fill in. A space for them to list what they have and for how many pages. They will send this back to you and you can go from there. Do not do what I did. I ask for all of Wright probate records. Came to $40.00. Also all of one surname marriage certificates. But as I am researching Wright. It was very interesting and I could eliminate and I did send some to other Wright researchers for what it cost me. One day when I have the time I will type all up I have and donate to the LCT site or Diane Casey for her site. Also I send the ladies at the Archives many letters of thanks plus Christmas Cards and such. They know me very well. I have been there a few time. Anyone who has been there will tell you what a wonderful environment it is to work in with all the help and the cleanliness of it. They keep these records in environmental conditions. Hope this helps.
