I agree with Joann about documentation. There is a Moore family reunion in Webster Co. every year. I gave one of the attendees proof about the family history of John Moore and Mary Barnhouse and their descendants one of which was Jacob Moore who m. Almarinda Mcelwain/Wayne. They refused to accept my documented information and were ready to accept the information provided by Freeman Moore who put together a family history of the Moore family. I was given a copy of Freeman Moore's history of the Moore Family but after painstakingly checking out each family in his rendition I found it to be full of errors. Freeman made the greatest mistake any genealogist can make - HE DID NOT DOCUMENT HIS WORK. He found a Moore family who sounded "good" and made them his ancestors. Unfortunately, his work was put into the "History of Calhoun Co. 1989." and it is totally wrong. I have tried to rectify his errors but some people refuse to believe the truth. If anyone is really interested in finding the TRUE story of the John Moore/Mary Barnhouse family, please contact me. Ann Moore Ann Moore (_E=mc2_) :-) 8
