Since this is the compilation of many researchers, I am posting all sources and original document transcripts that we have to help dispel wrong lineage assumptions and to show how we determined our findings.  This will aid those who follow the same lines.  I know that some wrong information may appear to be included in the data base.  If you will let me know what you have, I will try to work with you to determine the best presumption based on the total evidence at hand.

As a direct result of posting, I have received confirmation, supporting documents, conflicting evidence, and differing opinions.  Without posting, this work would operate in a vacuum.  I thank all researchers and contributors for their part in this process.  If you copy any of this material, please credit the source, author, researcher, and contributor.  By posting, the GEDCOM is effectively backed up for disaster retrieval.  I attempt to limit data base size to 5,000 persons to aid in management and updating.  Each data base is linked where it interfaces with another, but since the last 100 years are missing, so are the corresponding links.

Material not associated with genealogy represents my personal discoveries and interests.  You may copy the program concepts and page contents for non-commercial purposes provided you acknowledge the source.  I would appreciate any links to my pages on your web pages.  Please DO NOT POST MY E-MAIL ADDRESS, I receive over 100 SPAM messages per day.

Anything that you can offer to aid this process is greatly appreciated and will remain confidential if desired.  I am sure that with all of us working together, we will come to a valid lineage of the POOLs and collateral lines.  Please keep in touch as we learn more each day.
