Notes

 

1.       Census Data:  Rather than repeat the detail from a family census entry in each person’s record, it has been recorded only in the Head of Household record, and only the census year and location are recorded in the family member records (with a few exceptions, like adult children living with their parents).  If you are reviewing a person who is not the Head of Household, be sure to look at the Head of Household entry to see if there is additional information.

 

2.       Name Spelling:  Spelling of names in obituaries, newspaper articles, census records, etc., was often incorrect.  The spelling could be different in every place it is found.  When I report these facts for a person, I usually report the name as it was spelled, but in some cases I chose to correct the spelling. 

 

3.       Place Naming Convention:  I use the following:  place (township, city, institution, etc.), county, state, country.  Descriptive words are only used when needed for clarification.  Here are some examples:

 

Orangeville Town = Orangeville, Orange, Indiana, United States

Orangeville Township = Orangeville Township, Orange, Indiana, United States

 

4.       Direct Ancestral Line:  The direct ancestors of the author of this document are highlighted in blue.

 

5.       To the best of my knowledge, this document excludes living people.  However, mistakes happen.  If you have evidence that I have incorrectly listed a person as deceased, please contact me and I will correct my information. 

 

Genealogy research is always a work in progress.  No matter how much information you have, it is never complete.  No matter how much you check your work, it will always contain mistakes.  Please keep this in mind as you read this document.  If you can offer additional information or correct any mistakes, I would love to hear from you.
