| The data base of POOL relations contains my direct lineage (blood) and
collateral lines. Included also are those related by marriage and their collateral
lines. Certain lines have been omitted where requests for privacy and copyright have
been expressed. Living person, personal information is always withheld from posting
as are notes not pertinent to genealogy research. I do not intend to publish for
profit or copyright any of this material. Selected GEDCOM files and contact
addresses are available only upon the request of cousins doing research. This
information will remain free for all to access provided they respect the foregoing guide. Since
this is the compilation of many researchers, I am posting all sources and original
document transcripts that we have to help dispel wrong lineage assumptions and to show how
we determined our findings. This will aid those who follow the same lines. I
know that some wrong information may appear to be included in the data base. If you
will let me know what you have, I will try to investigate to determine the best
presumption based on the total evidence at hand.
As a direct result of posting, I have received confirmation, supporting documents,
conflicting evidence, and differing opinions. Without posting, this work operated in
a vacuum. I thank all researchers and contributors for their part in this
process. Please see the credits, changes log, and researcher list.
Anything that you can offer to aid this process is greatly appreciated and will
remain confidential if desired. I am sure that with all of us working together, we
will come to a valid lineage of the POOLs and collateral lines. Please keep in touch
as we learn more each day. |
