Blacksheep Ancestors and Their Records
 |
| Ann Staley, CG, CGL |
Let's just admit it - we all have them! So, let's use the records they have created to our benefit - and what wonderful records they left. And your blacksheep ancestor does not have to be a murderer, thief or kidnapper. What about your political expatriate? Your mayhem maker? The spouse who married 5 times and their other spouses are still living? Or the ancestor who just walked to the beat of a different drummer?
Starting with assembling and analyzing all of the data you have on your "blacksheep" ancestor we will follow through with resources for trying to prove the story: Court Records including Order Books and "insane" records; other types of census records; convicts and prison records; newspapers; NUCMC and PERSI; and much more.
