Though I agree with the fact that many should not consider these sources are absolute facts, blogs and personal websites can be very useful in breaking down a brick wall. Though not all, many of us do site our sources when we post information about an ancestor. I've started a regualer Monday post called Madenss Monday. I have prompted other posters to post the information they have, siting the source or where they found it so that others may help them. This has worked great. Some of the blogs site that it is family lore. In which case you know there is more proof needed, but others have factual sources to back up their findings. It's just something to consider that blogs can be useful, though not to be seen as fact. The comments are closed on your previous post, but I must say.
