    Sharpen those research skills by researching NOW and then participate in the “actionable genealogy education” – NOTE: You are allowed to use ANY online sites for GENEALOGY research; most clues can be found on Ancestry at https://ancestry.com and FamilySearch at https://familysearch.org. And if you “cheat” by simply using Google to find information, you are only cheating yourself out of an amazing story of an amazing man.
