I know I started way out there with the Gillett family. There is so much information online and I wanted to illustrate where we can go with this genealogy hobby of mine! I attempt to verify private individuals' posted information by cross checking it with legal, gov't and business documents whenever available. The name like Gillett is spelled many ways, as evidenced in my last post. Being aware of that fact helps in performing Google searches and identifying who belongs to us. Census takers and county clerks often seem to write the name as they hear it pronounced.
