Thomas Carroll enigma!

I have a brick wall and I need some new directions to go.  The problem is the name of the person is "Thomas Carroll".  I know when he was born only from his tombstone and death certificate.  The first census in which he could definitely be identified was in Fairfax Station, VA - 1860.  I have a lot of other information, but here's the problem.

 

From the beginning of the Irish famine and soon after, so many "Thomas Carroll"s came over on ships.  Some of them even have the same birthyear of my Thom

Ancestry.com, and the spread of misinformation

I have received yet another enquiry based on family trees hosted on ancestry.com which contain wrong information.

Now, I am not for one moment saying that everything on my family tree, freely accessible on the internet (though not right now, but that is a different story), is 100% correct, but my database allows anyone to 'Suggest' corrections. I have, for example, recently made a major change based on outcomes from DNA research

However, correcting something on Ancestry is a different matter. Some

The schooner Fame is moored in Salem, Massachusetts at Pickering Wharf.  She was built in Essex, Massachusetts by Harold Burnham, and launched in 2003.  The Burnhams have been building boats in Essex since the 1640s.  The original schooner Fame was an Essex fishing schooner used as a privateer in the War of 1812.  

The interesting connection is that Abner Poland III served on board the Fame in the War of 1812 by Abner Poland III of Essex, Massachusetts.  I’m descended of his sister, Sally Poland,

Researching Review

 

 How often do you open  your genealogy program and review what is actually in there?

 Are you aware of the files with out census information?  So much can be garnered from census data.

 

 Do you know if you have completed the information for Church data or marriage dates? The same applies for burial and death dates. 

 

 Amazing how  things look so nice and complete  but when you really start looking we have lots of dashes not filled in.

 

 Wondering how we will ever have the time t

I am third generation American, born in 1953, and my father, Robert Alton Hutto, born in 1928. My grandfather, Joseph Henry Hutto, was born in 1885. He was the first born child of my great-grandparents, George Washington Hutto and Anna Greene Hutto (originally an immigrant from Hamburg, Germany), and hence the first American citizen born to our family.

 

I have a major concern about the websites out there claiming our surname HUTTO is either German or English, but in fact my great-grandfather "Geo

February 2011

As I write this, I am sitting on a plane returning from a family reunion in California. My cousin celebrated his 70th birthday yesterday and several family members flew in for the occasion. My cousin's grandmother and my grandmother were sisters, so while I see him all the time (since he lives in the same building as my parents), his sisters and their families all live on the east coast and the only time we see each other is at weddings, funerals, and other special celebrations such as this.
