Hi cousins!
I have had great success with information discovery regarding my
father's-side of the family, partly from the great mailing list activity here
at Rootsweb, so I thought I would attempt to continue that success on my
mother's side.
Here is the lineage that I have documented (without all the cousins, aunts,
etc), beginning with the earliest known ancestor, and working forward to my
grandfather. Although I say "known ancestor", it's actually assumed
ancestor. My direct documentation (or strong circumstantial evidence) ends
with John K Carson. I have no documentation of my own for the earlier
generations.
I would welcome any comments on obvious mistakes, or probably mistakes, as
well as any information on work others have done to verify these facts
(especially before John K Carson). I am ALWAYS interested in hearing about
primary sources or other verification-steps that others have taken.
Thanks!
Steve
