Wow. Excellent.
Great info! Although I was able to get my grandmother's original 1891 birth certificate, the mother used a false name for herself and a fictitious dead husband. She also testified falsely under oath during the proceeding (I got the file too, with 1 page of testimony). That misled me for a long time and it took DNA and methodology to solve it. Birth certificates can be wrong.
Great methodology and clearly explained. Thank you.
Clearly presented
An exceptionally clear and concise presentation. Appreciated the inclusion of the steps in methodology that she used while not forgetting the importance of 'time and place'.
Very well done.
very interesting the step by step research
Very well done. I appreciated the steps. I have a cousin looking for his bio grandfather and I hope this will help.
