Re: Download gedcom files


From: "Paulette Smith" <paulette.smith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Having hit brick walls in all my research I'm trying some far out
connections and have been downloading some gedcom files to follow
some family stories that we were kin to Martha Washington's aunt and
descended from Pocahontas. I'm basically downloading them and
searching for familiar family names or people in the right counties
in Virginia.

My question is, does anybody have any good sites to suggest. I've
pretty well covered RootsWeb at:

Maybe if you provided some surnames and localities at the point your
proven information ends, we could offer better suggestions.
However, using secondary sources, particularly other people's
research is risky. People make mistakes and you could follow a hot
lead only to discover you've spent a lot of time on the wrong line,
or worse, you find things like children born after the death of
their mother, or when she was too old to be bearing children, other
ages might not line up etc.

Yes, I understand I don't want to accept research that I can't
prove. As I said, this is something I am doing because after 40
years of research, I can't find any more links and I'm grasping at
straws for somewhere to focus for information I've missed.

My Burch family came from New Kent Co., Va. which had all its
courthouse records burned. I'm comfortable in tracing back to
Reuben H. Burch b. abt. 1812. His wife was Julia Ann (Her
granddaughter said Martin). If she is a Martin, and not a Maupin,
there are 4 families who had girls of the right age. Reuben H.
mother was probably Elvirah Ladd (daughter of David) and her mother
was probably a Crew but first name unknown. The only reason I know
about the link to Elvirah is because I did a search on the internet
of her name and her daughter, Lucretia and found a posting that
cited the book on the Ladd family which included that information.
I was hoping for a similar break through with this research.

The name connections I am looking for in the Pocahontas and
Dandridge records is Martin, Burch, Crew and Ladd or anyone else
that I can connect between the families.
