The name Sipuel is so unusual it would seem that you may have more luck researching than others with more common names.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15223296092716442571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6929593101581875350.post-38995818120768357362011-06-20T07:48:36.775-07:002011-06-20T07:48:36.775-07:00Just saying hello...

There are lots of books available, Black Roots and Slaves in the Family, just to name a few. Also, look for a local genealogy club or find a library with a genealogy section. Smiths may be a hard one to research but not impossible. I have cousins whose father's surname is Smith.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15223296092716442571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6929593101581875350.post-61442220430605151512011-06-02T08:03:39.310-07:002011-06-02T08:03:39.310-07:00Hello, I love your blog!

The oldest relative in my family tree was born in 1820 and used the surname SMith. There are several white Smiths' in the county that my ancestory lived in. I have no idea of how to narrow it down. Do you have any suggestions for starting or can you recommend a book that might be helpful?KYLAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16542726243874096841noreply@blogger.com
