too many winsteads!

Samuel, Daniel, and Elizabeth must have been popular names in the Winstead family b/c there sure are a lot of them! Like a dozen of them.

And the Winstead boys must have been popular with the ladies as it appears there may have been more than one marriage.

It sure it hard to research when there are multiple names and not a lot of records. I can barely keep them straight. I think i'm going to have to print out a pedigree chart and try to sort this thing out.

The thing is...I've found a ton of information, but I don't know what's accurate. No sites seem to list their sources. And the ones on ancestry.com aren't much help b/c how can i be sure it's the right Samuel, or the right Daniel?

But if I can verify this line, then I know it's going to take me to England again. I think the head of this family (as far back as the research goes) is a John Winstone (note the spelling change). He was born in I think Yapton, England and married a Johane Skerrels. But that's if I can verify the line with some sort of documatation, and at the present time, I have none. I think that the last Samuel in my tree, his father is Daniel, but that's as far as I've gotten.

I love genealogy but sometimes, I wish the research was a little more easier.
