Methodology

How We Work

Every connection in this archive is rated for confidence. FamilySearch PIDs verify chains. Primary sources are prioritized. Oral history is flagged as traditional. Where we’re not sure, we say so.

Verified— FamilySearch PID confirmed
Sourced— documented but not PID-verified
Traditional— oral history or traditional genealogy
Research in Progress— actively being investigated

We lead with what we found, not what we claim.
