Figg leaves

This is a family history which includes my grandfather and his first wife and two daughters, his parents and other ancestors. It seems well-researched and includes sources of information. Like most similar books, it is reliable only to the extent it is accurately researched and documented. There are some questions about earlier generations, especially where men married more than once and had exceptionally large families. Who were actually the children of which wife? Also, during the pioneer times illiteracy and lack of consistent records leaves some questions unanswered. That being said, it was a very interesting book and I spent some time checking the references and wished I could discuss my questions with someone who is actually alive at this time.
