Family Search can be helpful, but double check...
I found some inconsistencies that were personally compiled and family search had it all screwed up because many families recycled names of those who previously died young. I've got a pile of stories. I worked on my genealogy for many years and was the reason I first got a computer back in the 90's so I could put it all down digitally. I had a Grandaunt who offed herself because of being a single mother and her sister raised the child as her own. A Granduncle who was run over by a train in a shootout with police. There are more bright sides to my lineage though. 3 Pilgrim families, Eli Whitney, Samuel Morse, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and even a cousin to Walt Disney. On the Canadian side, one of my Great grandfathers was the chief Engineer who pioneered the Trans Canadian Railroad.
