How can I tell if they are my ancestors?
driving car.. there basic rules follow.
first rule.. start yourself, , work backwards, , use documents verify every step of way.
example.. birth certificate proves parents , so. birth certificates prove parents are/were. along way, find records show grandparents have other children (siblings parents).
thus.. creating solid chain of information.
research not finding persons same last name. related, not. keep being random dart throwing, remember.. looking parents (immediate family) of known relative. when know grandma jones born in town/ time.. search records in place/ time, show parents.
