I use a wide variety of resources to paint a vivid picture of your ancestors. I use federal censuses, state censuses, social security indexes, state death indexes, findagrave.com, old family history books, state history books, country genealogical societies, marriage indexes, birth indexes, World War I and II drafts, US Department of Veteran Affairs indexes, church records, US City Directories, Civil War records, death and birth certificates, wills and probates, immigration records, naturalization records, and family stories, obituaries, and educated guess work.
