I don't use much of anything that I don't trust.... in other words, I "tend" to trust the Latter Day Saints Baptism of the dead records. Why? I know some Mormons and they want to know that an individual lived before they waste their time baptizing an air pocket.
One I got back into Biblical realms, I used the Bible. I personally believe that's more accurate than Courthouse records. The Hebrews were taught to memorize their heritage. There are Hebrew lines that came through Scotland, Ireland and other British isles. Therefore, I'm sure they were taught to keep some kind of records of their heritage.... If I tell my grandchildren that their g-g-g-grand parents were Simon Peter Snurr and Ella Ora Gunkle, then I'm sure they'll "know" that these people actually lived. Likewise, the Israelites did the same, and eventually documents these roots... and after they left Israel for the north, they continued to keep records of some kind.

Just as a matter of curosity....WHERE do you find documented records for ancestors in this time period and earlier as some have commented they have? I would have assumed most records would have been oral history back then! gc
