Not certain what you are referring to here re:? Houston vs Huston.? Perhaps just a point
of view regarding tracking mispelled names in the records? ?? I have Huston in my tree and
sometimes it was spelled Houston.? How does one distinguish one line from the other when
the records become unclear?
Thanks.

Martha,
you are very correct I have found several people on the HOUSTON side because it
was misspelled HUSTON so I am glad you helped me out with that.Thank you so
much.
I am thinking I might find ,y Sue Ellen HENSLEY FREED that way also.....The more
information one puts out there I feel the closer one will get to hitting upon
someone living who might have more information than someone else has on the
person they are looking for..theresa

Marge, I would think that Theresa's reference to cross reference
would mean
to take the information one sees as a secondary source (ex.
another person
research or book) and look for a primary source (ex. census,
photocopy of
actual records such as birth, death, marriage, land) to verify
the
information that is important to that individual doing their own
tree. It
also helps to use at least two original sources (or more) to
verify that the
person is actually fitting in correctly into the tree you are
working on.
I enjoy the exchanges of thoughts and information's on the site.
Oh, also
remember to double check spellings on secondary sources
especially and also
in the primary sources. There are many secondary records
that are not
always correctly spelled and sometimes that is a lost ancestor's
reason for
being lost when they are not really lost.
Best. Wishes.marta
