I have been researching my family for 50 years and am looking forward to retirement when I can spend even more time on my research. I started out by asking my grandparents questions, and then in college got really serious about my research. My children grew up visiting cemeteries, historical and genealogical societies, and older family members so I could continue to research. I'm hoping through my collaboration on WikiTree that I might be able to break through a few brick walls, help others with their research and make connections with other family members.

Also, after many years of research I have a natural distrust of oral history. People made up stories as excuses for their family members, or at least often stretched the truth. The family information about James Young after the war doesn't seem to hold water as there is nothing to support it. James Young must have owned land in Schuylkill County. What happened to that land. When was it sold, by whom, and to whom? There must be land and tax records in PA which would shed more light upon the whereabouts and activity of James Young. I live in NJ, too far away to do that research, but I have researched there and know that many good land records and tax records are available. We need to find those records to make any headway.

Look how similar the name of those children are to those of James Young. William, George, and Barbara are children in both families.
Once again, land records in Berks County could be of great help.
