This is why I like to work on a line off the social media until I know the lineage is correct. If you have mistakes then it get repeated by others then years later you get fed back the same information and you are thinking this verifies your research but it was from your original work so it still would not have been verified by anyone else. Since I work alone a lot this always worries me so until I have someone else confirming the work I wait to put it out there. Doreen

I’d say by the preponderance of evidence. Sometimes, in research as you know, you don’t get enough direct evidence for a definitive answer, so you have to use the concept of preponderance of evidence. So, collect every record you can for this person, couple, and children….. even grandchildren to see if he is mentioned ….. at least the one you think is your person ….. and compare them. Hopefully it will give you an answer you are comfortable with.

Is it all just an educated guess? Thanks for your thoughts and expertise.
