- The most important piece of advice I can give is to NOT make assumptions! Create working theories if you like, such as your guess that the older men could be brothers. That can be your working theory. But don't assume it's correct. Work to prove or disprove it.
- It's okay to guess. It's okay to form a theory. But after you've formulated a guess or theory, you have to look for evidence that supports it. Because good Genealogy is based on facts and evidence, not guesses or unproven theories.

I ask that comments be limited to the general topic of genealogy and historical research, or address specific blog entry topics, questions, and comments. I would appreciate seeing sources mentioned whenever making statements of fact. I prefer you use your real name or your normal nickname. Your language should be PG13 or better. Be respectful, personal attacks will not be tolerated. Links are acceptable if they are relevant to the topic. I reserve the right to edit, delete or otherwise exercise my editorial discretion over all comments left on my blog.
