| Finding
Female Ancestors |
Female ancestors
(referred to as the "umbilical" line) are often overlooked in
our family genealogies, and the reasons for this are fairly evident --
in researching females we must contend with name changes, possibly many
marriages or certain cultures where women retained another name during
marriage. Most females did not leave many records behind as often they
had little or no legal rights. Most of the classically searched
genealogical records dealt with men -- purchasing land, serving in the
military, going to court, paying taxes, applying for citizenship and
leaving wills after their deaths. |
