Perhaps some 'family historian' looked into some pertinent New England publications in the vein of "Centennial history of . . ." or "Address on the Sesquicentennial Anniversary of . . ." Possibly the author(s) of the quoted history did some additional library explorations, and were none too certain about how many same-named persons were in what generation.<br /><br />In any event it is a classic example of the pitfalls of such published beliefs.Geoloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050268303916428230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-76471464233366494102010-07-29T08:15:45.408-07:002010-07-29T08:15:45.408-07:00I agree, it is a bit confusingI agree, it is a bit confusingGinger Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17453442334718861407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-42338993341251720482010-07-28T18:31:11.850-07:002010-07-28T18:31:11.850-07:00I often think, "They knew what they were talk...I often think, "They knew what they were talking about when they wrote it". In the same way, some of the things I write are clear as a bell to me, because of my familiarity with a family. However, they are mud to the average reader, who has no idea what or who I am writing about. Hmmm. Perhaps this whole old biography thing is a writing lesson just for me. Hope you are able to sort our your Seavers. Oh no, sound like another genealogy video game, "Sorting the Seavers"!GrannyPamhttp://www.warrenweb.info/genealogynoreply@blogger.com
