Though I took great care in my research, you can
be sure to find errors ranging from typos to misinterpretations to inaccurate
assumptions. Please forgive me. In cases where I wasn’t sure about the accuracy of
facts, I tried to make the uncertainty clear in my presentation or else left
the data out. I personally researched and verified much of the
data you see on this page. Some of
the sources I used were: vital
records, such as birth, marriage and death records; published newspaper
accounts of events, including marriage announcements and obituaries; and
census records. Please contact me for source information applying to specific data. Thank you to the many Jacobson descendants who took the time to speak with me about your families. |
