TIP: Needle in a Haystack; the Franks of ‘Coorhessen’

The following is in a note format rather than the usual storied narrative – it’s a process piece that shows different ways to ferret out information about ancestors whose past and path are unavailable through simple searches. The footnotes reveal the many sources that can be utilized, including non-English sites. It all comes down to asking questions, lots of questions, about various aspects of a person’s life; their work, religion, politics, etc. Maybe this will be helpful in your genealogy research.
