2 DOUBLE GENEALOGY: The ADOPTION WITNESS

DISCLAIMER

The author is an amateur, not studied in genealogy, but is informed by a 20 year history of data handling in clinical research. The book details how this particular work was done to support its conclusions. It conveys no promise that the methods used will translate to a successful outcome by another researcher. The methods used are not claimed as original. There is no claim as to whether or not they match standard practice. Experts, working with proven industry standards, may have done it better and with greater verification and efficiency. One must respond to the data available to them and decide what means will address their unique situation.

Statements as to the identity of birth or adoptive parents, or of illegitimate or adopted children are conclusions of the author’s own analysis. The conclusions could fundamentally change with the addition of new data or exposed erroneous assumptions.

This work is of real ancestral people who have been documented at the sites ScotlandsPeople (SP), Findmypast (FMP), or Family Search (FS) on whom truth has been embellished with imagined content, as hinted by the data, when needed to advance the story line. Age is true to an underlying document from SP if viewed. If not, it is approximate from FMP and FS, or other documents. Spelling generally reflects the latest evolution seen in documents, or as known to the family.

Place names are used in their historical context. Today’s map and place names may inadequately describe many of the areas of interest as they existed in the era of interest.

This work mostly references documents from and the United States. Registries and censuses of other countries may have asked for, or, may be based on different data points. The differences would have to be taken into account, if working with data from such countries.

EXAMPLE: PREVIOUS WORK OF AUTHOR PARTICIPATION

The author’s work experience included the conduct of clinical trials. Collaborative output of such work is characterized by the following example:

NOTE: FS is an amazing archive with no user fee of its own. Helpful for intra-census events, by allowing search on parental name(s), for a list of children. Any family could have no one census, with a comprehensive list. There are other twists on this theme. Its data precedes searchable censuses (1841 for Scotland). FS was helpful in suggesting historic family paths, say, for both Cairns lines. Originals could then be found at the data custodian.
