CHAPTER 20: RESEARCH SOURCES


About the time I had been seriously searching for information for about a year, I realized that I was going through the same records for a second or third time.  While it is very easy to overlook needed data when you have been going through things like census records for three or four hours, I now know that I should have been keeping a log of everything that I went over in my research.  The following is a reconstruction done from my notes in March 1988 and updated regularly ever since then. It does not include Internet searches. Sources marked * contain HYTEN and HITEN information.
