There is no breakthrough data here, but it is always worthwhile to explore the place where a research subject lived. It helps to understand the subject on a personal level and sometimes suggests other places to look for information.

I don’t plan to write blog posts for every single item I explore during this research project, but this one seems to lend itself well as a teaching tool. Working with oral history is a slippery slope, so I will be sharing some concerns and techniques. Continue reading →

BIG OPPS – Update to my last post

Posted on December 21, 2012 by Canyon Wolf

I received e-mail from Randy Blood recently. He pointed out a couple of errors in my recent post titled Lee-o-netto’s Funeral Notice. I am totally ashamed of myself for these errors. No excuse – I rushed and I blew it.

Today, I would like to correct the information and perhaps turn my mistakes into a positive learning experience for all.

Thanks Randy, for getting me focused and back on track.

I will review what I learned from the published genealogies about Edward Jr. in this post. Part two will discuss the specific sources within the Annis Genealogy with an analysis of the reliability of those sources.

Charles S. Marden, a lawyer, wrote twice to the Pension Commissioner to inquire about his great great grandfather’s records and to learn what information they contained. I first ran into Charles in the Annis Genealogy. Perhaps now would be a good time to find out more about Charles and to analysis what he knew or didn’t know about Edward Marden Sr.
