This information was taken from Family Group Sheets on file in the LDS Archives at Salt Lake City, Utah. Most were compiled by Mormons as part of filing documentation so they could baptize their ancestors. They provide clues for family researchers and often cite English records which were not readily accessible this side of the Atlantic at that time. These records were copied for your editor by a reader in the 1970s. If they contain information for an ancestor on your family tree, it is your responsibility to document that connection.
