  • - By Nancy Lecompte
  • • Skepticism is the root of all good research.
    • The history of a record is as important as its contents.
    • What is a genealogist without sources?
  • 
    3. Never take anyone's word for it. Check the data and source yourself. (Why would you want a family tree filled with someone else's ancestors?)
  • 
    7. Speculation may not be research, but you have to start somewhere!
  • 8. Sometimes you will have to delete hours of lovingly compiled research and data when the document comes in that changes everything. Be ready to do this. (Again, why would you want a tree with ancestors that aren't related to you?)
  • 10. Be grateful for questions, and even challenges from other researchers. It's an excuse to double-check your research. See #11. (And be extra-gentle and compassionate with beginners.)
  • 12. You don't get the big stuff without piles of little stuff that seemed massively unimportant at the time. (See #1.)
  • 12. You don't get the big stuff without piles of little stuff that seemed massively unimportant at the time. (See #1.)
  • 12. You don't get the big stuff without piles of little stuff that seemed massively unimportant at the time. (See #1.)
  • 
    11. There will always be mistakes, no matter how careful and thorough you are. And I could always be wrong... (Repeat this daily.)

One More Dr. Kanistanaux

While searching in old books and newspapers, I discovered yet another person using the name Kanistanaux and practicing medicine. Today I will outline the few bits and pieces I found for him.

Lee-O-Netto Kanistanaux - the younger

This post contains all the information I have collected to date for the woman called Lee-O-Netto, born about 1869 in New York. I will update the page as new information is gathered, so bookmark this page and check back often.

The Two Lee-O-Netto Doctresses

I think I have located enough pieces of the Dr. Lee puzzle to warrant a review. There are clearly two ladies using this name, but where does one stop and the other start? Let’s see if I can put the picture together.

This theory has now been disproved.

I am leaving the post up because it contains information that is still useful and accurate. Please see my more recent review of the subject here.
