I am not considering the data that we write here as to be written in stone, because we want this site to be a working site, with input from others. The information is given to be scrutinized and corrected if needed. If you look through the Family Trees posted on the internet you'll undoubtedly see obvious errors where people have automatically combined other's trees with theirs. Hopefully, by talking things out here we can get to the best answers that the evidence suggests. Here we can "kick it around."
I'm in the process of obtaining certificates from Cheshire, England, now, and I think I've made the jump back from Rhode Island to where James Hague came from. I have a Hague Family History Site (Family Tree) of sourced data on my family on ancestry.com which is evolving to be a pretty good source of factual information, and I welcome corrections there. We're always discovering new information.
Let's see how this blog evolves! Donna Hague Wendt
