During the course of my research, I often encounter mysteries and stumbling blocks that impede my research. After a lot of research and some good luck, I may be able to solve the mystery.This section describes some of the mysteries I have encountered and how I resolved them. Woolfolk/Ellis/Turner/Connection
While researching my ancestors in the census, I often noticed a family member living with a member of the Ellis or Turner family.Also, many of my new found cousins knew of Ellis or Turner relatives but no one knew how the three families were related. Eventually, I was able to determine how the families were connected.
Woolfolk/Shakespeare Connection My Aunt told me her father (my grandfather) had stated his father’s family was related to the Shakespeare family; however, she did not know how the Woolfolk and Shakespeare families were related. My Aunt’s comment, a connection with a new found cousin who had a family Bible and some additional research allowed me to solve this mystery.
