Research notes

Immigration sources

fname Ross is listed {{{2}}} times in Ancestry.com's U.S. and Canada, Passenger and Immigration Lists Index. This database is a compilation of names & dates listed in other sources. The specific source can be found in the 'Annotation' tab. Most of these sources are simply books, or directories, that contain a one-line description of a person that includes a time & place that they were mentioned in the Americas. They are not necessarily 'Passenger and Immigration Lists'. It's important to note that the column labels 'Arrival year' and 'Arrival place' are, therefore, not accurate. The values in these columns are taken from any number of different types of documents that indicate someone's presence somewhere.

The annotations in the database lead to these resources that mention fname Ross. They, themselves are only secondary sources. Any information found in primary sources is discussed above.

Disclaimer

It is admittedly impossible that we have been able to evaluate every piece of evidence available for every person included on this site. What you often find on the internet, though, are trees with no sources attached at all. Many of these trees were created pre-internet & have been passed down, uploaded & copied to multiple sites without details of the original sources they were based on. Now, with the advent of DNA testing, we're finding that they don't always match up with what the DNA is telling us. In order to reevaluate these trees in conjunction with the DNA evidence, we need to have available the sources that they might've originally been based on. This site, then, is intended as a repository for these sources and an opportunity to share what the DNA is telling us so that we can work collectively to correct these trees. Over time, more of the old records will be able to be combed through, and the sources cited here will grow.
