To help connect to Hays & Hayes “cousins” and share research, I’m developing profiles of my Anchor Ancestors. You may call them brick walls, but I prefer to think of these ancestors as the anchors to my family research.
If you wish to share your Anchor Ancestors with a broader audience, send me a profile. Please use source citations for your life events whenever possible. You can include:
- Interesting stories you’ve discovered
- Research questions you are pursuing
- Links to other profiles of this ancestor (ie. FamilySearch and WikiTree)
I held back on posting Anchor Ancestor profiles earlier, because I was waiting for the profile to be perfect. But, that is hard in genealogy. Instead of perfect, these profiles show the story I’ve built, the evidence I’ve collected, and the questions I still have.
Let’s help each other untangle our roots and tell our Hays & Hayes Anchor Ancestor stories.
Check out the current list of Anchor Ancestors.
