To interested Woolsey researchers: The problem with Daniel Woolsey and his multiple parents is typical of the problems that we are going to find more and more. In RootsWeb's WorldConnect Project: Littman Lathrop Family, which is found 0N-LINE Shows: Daniel Fowler Woolsey Male, born 1726 in Bedford, Westchester Co., NY, death Aug 1801. Father: Richard Woolsey b 1697 in Jamaica, Queens Co., NY. Mother: Sarah Fowler, b abt 1692, in Flushing, Queens Co., NY. Marriage: 1762. Mary Ward Von Volzen. Lists 7 children as per will which I sent previously, but as source gives the following: 1. Type: E-Mail Message - Author: Holly Revard - Title: Correspondence - Date: 1998 Location: HRevard@aol.com 2. Text: Lynn Gleason, 444 Eleventh Avenue SE, Forest Lake, MN 55025, correspondence, 1993-1994. Now all this is well and good. It seems to be well-documented but just what is the documentation? A down-loaded GEDCOM? Where did it originate? What are the specifics? Where did the list of children originate? But more importantly, where did the marriage of 1762 originate? Is there a record somewhere or is this an approximation? Where did the name Mary Ward Von Volzen come from? I guess I should just accept this information. But I have trouble with that, especially when I run into conflicting information. It is this type of documentation that seems to just go around and around in circles. Researcher A receives a GEDCOM from researcher B who passes it on to researcher C who accepts the 25 generations without question and immediately posts it and exclaims how wonderful it is to receive so many generations of ancestors, and so easily!! At the risk of repeating my self again, the LDS TIB, Ancestral File and other indexes should be used with extreme caution, and should be used only as an indicator, not as documentation! Perhaps more research in Ulster and Orange counties will eventually iron out these inconsistencies. I hope. Sincerely, Wilford W. Whitaker
