I have begun a literature search for families in my tree. This is a partial response to an assignment for our US-REC study group. My previous post looked at an online compiled tree. This post is the beginning of a literature search that will enable me to assess various compiled books, stories, and articles potentially related to families in my tree. Not surprising, I have more entries for the Cole (Coale) family than any others. Coal (Coale) ancestry has been traced back to the 1100s in England (lots of warrior-knights in the early years).
Following is a list of resource found. Of course, it is only a partial list upon which I can continue to add sources. Now I can begin to review the individual sources for reference to individuals in my family tree, along with an analysis of the source regarding its likely reliability.
