Using this blog - purpose and overview

I hope anyone who has an interest in family lines mentioned here will use this blog. Send me your posts in email and I'll add them right away. Or maybe become a co-author. If you'd like to, let me know.

The family lines include the following, but are not limited to them:

Adams - Horan - Clark - Fagan - Scott - Stottler - Tanner - Wilcox - Manners - Priddy - Killian - Quigley - Wheeler

and many more.

The idea is to make note here of how we found the next generation in each line. Also notes about these people. Also musings. Whatever might help someone else follow the trail and either accept the results or provide cogent supported reasons why the results are unacceptable.

It should be used, I think, in conjunction with the Adams Family Tree and possibly other trees on ancestry.com. Otherwise too much explanation will be needed about who people are who are discussed in these posts. The corollary to that suggestion is that everyone written about here should appear in the Adams Family Tree or be added at the time of the post. 

Links to data and the person on the tree would be especially helpful in your post.

And you can send any single one of these posts to anyone if there's an interest.

Research suggestions are also welcome.

Photos too. Anything that might further our understanding of our ancestors. Essays would be great. And substantive comments on posts are particularly helpful.

If you have a research question, please post it as a query. Query: Why did the Adamses move to Norwalk? in the title bar at the top of the post. Make all titles as explicit and focused as possible.

Other suggestions?
