Documention has lead to confusion regarding my grandfather John Watson, born in Glasgow, Oct. 26. 1882.

Question

I have been researching my grandfather John Watson,date and POB listed above, with the help of other family members. Document research has lead us to a marriage record with assorted family info. on it which has been used as reference point for some time.

Problem is, one of my family members, through their research, has discovered what they believe is evidence of a different/alternative heritage. The documentation is compelling but completely ignores or negates the previously mentioned marriage record.

Some of the documentation puts an interesting spin on the research.

Problem I'm having is how to provide the documentation through Wikitree for review by anyone interested in assisting me. I'm happy to email what I have to anyone that may wish to help.

I'm not the best at how to use Wikitree but I do like. Well here goes:

This doc is a copy of my grandfathers marriage application from Ohio. The doc should be visible within his profile listed below. As you see the family members listed...my grandfather, birth date,place of birth and his wife.  

his wife and her parents.

Hi Robert!

Try to add what information you have on the profile. You can add a == Research Notes == heading if there isn't one already, then add each relevant bit of information using a bullet point (*). It makes it a lot easier to sort through all the various bits of information if they are separated like that.

You can also make notes about why you think something is/isn't correct, and that all helps to narrow down the possibilities.
