Pamela Lash, WCGS
president, once again shows that sleuthing in the genealogical records reveals
interesting glimpses into the lives of early settlers in Williams County.
She states, " Modern readers are all too familiar with stories of spousal
abuse and divorce. Family researchers should be aware that these sociological
situations are not confined to any particular time or area, but they transcend
the ages and can affect the lives of several generations both in positive and
negative ways. This form of "genealogical detailing" illustrates these
points."
Pam
suggests that serious family researchers, if possible, should consult the civil and criminal records
of the geographical areas where an ancestor resided. "There is a wealth of
information available that can put flesh on the bones of these relatives. Using
this data I shall detail the life of several early Wms Co. settlers who deal
with betrayal of trust, divorce, and assault".
