You also might want to try the local Mormon office. They have excellent records and have some good people who know the records and it’s free.

There is a definite advantage to having Mormons in a branch of the family. I perused my family tree in the on-line Mormon registry, and traced back ancestors for centuries.

Of course, I am a little skeptical of the records going back a millennia or more. While it is amusing to see my family tree going back to the first king of Britain some two millennia BC, I seriously doubt the accuracy of that lineage.

The Quakers, too. They kept excellent records of their meetings which recorded all pertinent info like marriages, deaths, births, etc.

My great grandmother became Salvation Army, but her family was Quaker moving from from PA to Canada.

Wonderful to have the Mormon connection. Skeptical, of course. But still it is incredibly neat that someone traced records. Someday they’ll get the DNA and those records to start untangling each other.
