OK, before we begin, an explanation: This section is not a grand exclamation of truth; nor does it
profess to know everything. It is SIMPLY a
TOOL. All data (correct, incorrect, oral history, exaggerations, etc.) will be up here - for all to see.
As facts are PROVEN (true or false), they will be labeled as such and accompanied by evidence, i.e.
sources/documents, etc. Simple. The only drawback? "... but Grandma told us that [ fill in the blank ]." Grandma's memory may be fuzzy; someone could have told her a fib (in good conscience); and worse, a lie was handed down through the generations. Yes, it happens. If you want to believe that your great-great grandfather was King of [pick a country] and produced 40 children - all of whom were famous, weathy, and perfect people (as well as all their heirs)... then we suggest that you find a nice solitaire program and have a great day. IF, on the other hand, you want the TRUTH... ... let's get ready to RUMBLE! The first project: Charles Henry Brutton b. about 1836 England; died 1902 Minnesota, U.S. Want to participate? GREAT! If you have criticism, added information, a challenge to data, documents / certificates - please email me If you have a scanner, we would love images of any documents, photos, certificates, etc. If you don't have a scanner, you are welcome to send good COPIES of documents, etc. to me and I'll be happy to convert them to computer images. Please let me know if you do NOTwish to be credited for images, etc. Some wish to retain their privacy.
