I do not find many 'original documents', but for the time frame, the documents that exist have been transcribed and published in family group/pedigree formats. These books have been critiqued and corrected by each other; and by combining what exists, I can assign the surety level on most of the stuff. Some men (nobles) are found only in the inheritance from the father of the land. Women are found when they had no brothers, and inherited the land equally between sisters, but they gave the control of the lands to their husband, who then held it in trust for her oldest son. Most 'facts' actually come from wills, intestates, and related land and money records. There are however many people with possible multiple parents, and other confusions. I usually go with what the experts seem to agree on, and put multiple possibilities in the notes. Taxes and ownership of land is always the first, and most documented records that exist for any time frame. This is my children's line, not mine. :-( Rich in LA CA
