Research Areas
Many people have gathered information from various sources.
Rather than have people research the same book or place twice we will
list these sources here. If you have other sources you have researched, regardless
of whether any ancestors were found please e-mail me the information.
Below are the names of people who have researched various areas or are looking for information.

of every geographically dispersed Rury family in the United States.
Extensive Census research at the National Archives including most
all Census records prior to and including 1920,
