Please see the following link(s)- a direct to source via FamilySearch that I was using to explore this family line and compare the personal family-written notes to what is documented in Census and Church records:
I've been working on daughter Sabina's profile and saw these notes as related through one of her daughters and realized there is a plethora of information - needing verification- that has been typed by an elder to this family line attempting to keep a history for those of us researching today. I apologize for not having the full title yet as I wanted to get some links posted so I didn't lose them while looking for data to place in a formal citation. I will add one when done. Thanks! Becky
