Adams-Merkley Blog Posts by Surname -for Research and Records

I’ve created this Index for “technical” information - my search for Verified Records; e.g. Verified Pedigree Lineage Charts. These Blog Posts are mainly for researchers -genealogists and historians. It’s also where I place questions I haven’t answered, questionable information, errors I’ve found and verified as incorrect or questionable, etc.
