Dear KellyAnn: There are three databases I often check when I am stuck in trying to find something. They are Gencircles _http://www.gencircles.com/_ (http://www.gencircles.com/) The LDS web site at: _http://www.familysearch.org/_ (http://www.familysearch.org/) and Rootsweb.com at: _http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/_ (http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/) These are all sites that publish whatever people submit to them, and thus the facts are absolutely unproven unless sources are cited from original records. There are a few source citations, but many of them are simply presented for what they are worth. Of the three, I guess I would trust the LDS site the most, as many of the people who submit materials there are members of the LDS church and take their genealogical work seriously. What I do use them for is as clues as to where to look in searching for actual record sources that will bear upon the matter I am looking for. I trust what I see on the WRG web site a lot more than these others, mostly because I know many of the people who have provided materials and I have trusted their work for many years. Note the address I used above for the WRG mail list. That is the one that reaches the Whitney Research Group better than any other. Happy Hunting! Allan E.
