On Documentation

      Before moving on down the family tree, a few words regarding the documentation seems appropriate. Several genetic genealogist have contacted me wanting to know what evidence there is to prove the assertions being claimed regarding my Jones surname family tree. What an essential question to any genealogist or genetic genealogist. What proof do you have to show the individuals you name actually existed, and belong in your kindred group? This information which was collected during, and following many, many years of tree climbing and, much of this proof and documentation, has been collected, organized and stored in a series of research notebooks. This research as been outlined in a blog. The title of the blog is:

                                        "The Jones Genealogist Research Notebooks"

                                         (https://tjgresearchnotebooks.blogspot.com) 

      This blog was started July 6th, 2012, and gives the content (proof) by subject, topic, surname, and individual/etc. Each notebook generally contains the same information/references on a related topic or surname. The notebooks are numbered and identified as RN# [Research Notebook #] from #1 to #275. The contents that each notebook contains by subject is given. The whole blog can be searched by subject using the search engine found above the right column of each post. The research contained to my Jones surname family tree can be discovered here. Give it a try. The following picture shows the beginning string of notebooks starting RN #1.


P.S. there are 274 total notebooks. A bit of my tree climbing results are here.
