Middlesex Chapter Meeting
Presented by Erica Voolich
We are told to collect the family stories while we can. Once you collect your family stories, you need to verify the facts. Of course you first check the vital records, census reports and then move onto probate, religious, immigration/naturalization/passenger lists, land, military, court records. Using the case of the Richardson family stories, we look at some other sources to use when searching to verify the given information.
