Have you looked at the date the document was drawn up and the date it was recorded? Was there a delay? Is there any significance to the date a document was executed? Fit the record into the context of the family? Had a child just become of age? Had someone recently died? There might be a reason even if it is not clearly stated. ———————————— Check out GenealogyBank’s Offer for Tip of the Day Fans!
Is it possible that the person who said they would do a quick “lookup” for you in a certain record didn’t really know what they were doing? Did they overlook it? Did they not consider all the spellings? Anyone can make a mistake. Might it be worth a second try? Please don’t get me wrong, those who volunteer to do lookups do us a GREAT service, but since they are human, every once in a while they can overlook something. ———————————— Check out GenealogyBank’s Offer for Tip of the Day Fans!
