Basic rules I found helpful in family research are;
- The family knows best.
- Listen to others, especially of the opposite sex, to make family.
- Do not in a family search, get rid of the in-laws, though you may want to.
- Families fight, and likely not just one answer is correct, in the history.
- If genealogy is done properly one does not get to pick their ancestors.
With DNA being introduced it is just a tool.
- Y-DNA is only carried by the male.
- The male which carries that Y-DNA is more likely to be 100% correct about his family history then one which does not.
