Family Data Collection - Individual Records
Description:
A unique database containing 5 million genealogical records (20 million names) that were saved from destruction after being rejected from scientific studies. The Family Data Collection records were created while gathering genealogical data for use in the study of human genetics and disease. Compiling data for genetic research does not require the same type of documentation as traditional genealogical research. The genes themselves verify relationships and qualify or disqualify a person from a particular study. Citing the source of every genealogical fact in the electronic gene pool was deemed unnecessary and cost prohibitive by medical researchers. Millions of individual records were created from birth, marriage and death records; obituaries; probate records; books of remembrance; family histories; genealogies; family group sheets; pedigree charts; and other sources. The records collected that did not fit a specific study became the project's "by-products" and were schedule to be discarded. After viewing the quality of the source material used to create the gene pool and despite the absence of cited documentation, the electronic rights to the data were purchased, rather than see it destroyed.
Extended Description:
Thousands of families are known to be present in the database, containing 20 million names in 5 million records. This data covers the entire U.S. for a wide expanse of years. At a minimum, each record contains an individual's name, date and place of birth, and the name of his or her father. A complete record will contain the following information for an individual: Name, Date and Place of Birth, Date and Place Married, Date and Place of Death, Name of Spouse, Name of Father, Name of Mother, Use this database as a finding tool, just as you would any other secondary source. When you find the name of an ancestor listed, confirm the facts in original sources, such as birth, marriage, and death records, church records, census enumerations, and probate records for the place where the even took place.

Following excerpt consists of information provided by Dean Lewis in an Email letter addressed to myself on August 5, 2004.
...Priscilla Tribble Owen, the wife of Samuel Henry Hardy, was my great-grandmother. Her daughter Mattie Lee Hardy married Robert Lee Lewis in Missouri in 1885; their son, Samuel Theron Lewis was born in 1902...
...Priscilla Tribble Owen Hardy died in Kentucky and not in Missouri. She died sometime between the 1880 census and the Fall of 1882 when S. H. and Mattie Lee went to Missouri. I surmise that she died in the Fall of 1881 during the typhoid epidemic. Her sister Susannah Leach Owen and three of Susannah's children died in the span of four weeks in October-November 1881. I think Priscilla must have died then also. In the row of graves where James Greene Hardy is buried, there is a field stone with the initials P. H. scratched on it. That may well be her grave site...
