Classification: Query
my question is this-when I an doing my research on someone I come across a name with the same information but sometimes with a different parent or a couple of different siblings.I guess what i am really asking is how do you know
if that is really your family or the other one is.I have come across this several times. when i start getting down to family born before 1900 or even before 1800 i have found this to be true.
just wondering if i am the only one this has happened to or if someone else has had this problem and if so what solution did you use.any help will do.i did not list the persons name because their are a few.I do read the post in the threads for help as well as done online research and also have gone to the library.thank you
