Where is the Source?Tracy L Meyershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09003154807941928311noreply@blogger.comBlogger4125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6106820267829054975.post-81818396108219400102016-04-08T05:34:37.340-07:002016-04-08T05:34:37.340-07:00Rod, thank you so much for visiting Family Preserv...Rod, thank you so much for visiting Family Preserves; welcome cousin!<br /><br />The "other line of descent" was in reference to Kiliab's daughter Lois and her descendants. Specifically one of Lois' 5th Great Grandchildren.<br /><br />I had been working - until this past year, when distracted by an ancestor in my maternal line who was demanding some attention - on working my way through Archibald's children; determined as you probably noticed on attempting to do a better job than had previously been done to document Archibald's life and legacy. Or, at the very least to be able to offer a logical, while perhaps circumstantial, proof argument making the case that my 3rd Great Grandfather, Edwin Lindsey and 4th Great Grandfather, Archibald Lindsey are indeed connected. But, that maternal ancestor has kept me busy for a year! So my Lindsey research has stalled a bit - I've worked my way through Edwin and Kiliab, but I now need to work through the other children.<br /><br />I would love, if you are willing, to learn more about what is known about Eliakim and what source documents are available, etc. I am, again, as you may have noticed, a firm believer in tracing the information back to an original document where possible or amassing as much circumstantial evidence as possible in order to make the case for what is believed. <br /><br />I hope you will visit Family Preserves again, I have not given up the search, but our ancestors sometimes demand equal attention and I'm just on the verge of discovering what it is that my maternal ancestor was insistent that I know.<br /><br />Have a great day and I look forward to hearing from you in the future.

Archibald is also my 4th great grandfat...Hi Tracy,<br /><br />Archibald is also my 4th great grandfather. You mention another line of descent, which makes me think of Eliakim, my 3rd gg. Is that it? I have considerable details in that line, and although the source of much of it was done by now deceased cousins and much road work, I would have to say that what's in my possession is anecdotal or at best, secondary or tertiary source. Nevertheless, a good deal of the family has been using it for many years.<br /><br />It sounds to me as if we're at a similar age. My mother and two of her four sisters have passed, and a good deal of our information is based on their life experiences, and includes a good deal of their parents and, in turn, my great grandfather, Willis, grandson of Eliakim.<br /><br />I was given a great deal of data on Kiliab, which I suspect is probably what you have. Mine was generously granted by a 5th cousin in the Pacific North West.<br /><br />In concert with my Eliakim line, I also have a good deal of Scofield information, although it is mostly from the web and that family seems to be well documented, or should I say widely extant.<br /><br />Rod Peterson<br />Ormond Beach, FLLRodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17181295131853124169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6106820267829054975.post-51623166882461906172014-05-25T17:57:02.233-07:002014-05-25T17:57:02.233-07:00Dana, thank you for visiting, glad you enjoyed the...Dana, thank you for visiting, glad you enjoyed the post.

I will check a couple of locations for that Loomis Book.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01218797193853891319noreply@blogger.com
