Hi,
The genealogy I have is one of
the real questions/conflicts regarding the Lawrence line. I don't
remember where I determined this particular line. I have attached
a pdf file that throws the
1609 John Lawrence into doubt. Let me
know what you think, because this is the big mystery I would like to
solve.

Hi,
I
am intersted on where you got the genealogy of the above person at http://www.ojibwe.info/Ojibwe/HTML/people/p00000zh.htm#I16170.
Is there any way of verifying this, as it conflicts with other
variations of John Lawrence - 1609 - ancestry - Either married to
Elizabeth Waters of Elizabeth Cook. Both my scenarios have
different parents for Elizabeth to the ones you show.
Thanks,

Hello Ron
Sorry not to get back to you earlier.
The information on that particular family came from the LDS Ancestral
File database, accessed in the late 1980s and early 1990s. We
were compiling a database for Red Lake Indian Reservation - everyone on
the 'tribal rolls' - and when I had the opportunity to do some research
at the L.D.S. library in San Diego, I spent several days downloading
branches of the Ancestral File database that 'tied into' Red
Lake.
The focus of our research was Indigenous and Métis people at Red
Lake; with limited research time and funds, we never did get around to
further researching and documenting the medieval European ancestors.
Because of the limited capacity of the genealogical databases that I
was
using at that time [DOS versions of Personal Ancestral File], I coded
those sources by using the 'Ancestral File' number as the
'record identification number' - and, unfortunately, the RINS did not
transfer into the HTML web-pages that are currently online. If
it's important to you, I can retrieve the information from my original
databases, or if you have not already reviewed their genealogical
compilations, it might be more helpful for you to look at the current
version of Ancestral File, accessible online at http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp
- since I'm sure a lot of additional information has been added in the
past twenty years.
I get a fair bit of 'traffic' to the Ojibwe.info
website; if you'd
like, I can add a 'link' to your genealogy.
