Details and Disclosures

Nolichucky Roots is a personal blog written and edited by me solely for research and genealogical purposes. Neither it, nor I will ever accept any form of advertising, sponsorship, or paid insertions beyond those inserted by Blogger in exchange for providing a free blogging platform. However, I am influenced by my background and life experiences - and probably by the experiences of my ancestors, as well! Consider yourself warned.

I will not be compensated to provide opinion on products, services, websites and various other topics. The views expressed are my own. Any product or service that I mention in the blog is one I use or have used. I have paid the market price or subscription fee for that product or service. If I ever say anything kind or positive about AT&T you may be sure my blog or I have been taken by aliens.

My hope is readers, especially other family historians, will find something of use. If you let me know what information is of interest to you I may have more. I cannot pass on permission to use images of documents from archives or other images not owned by me. I've taken the time to get permission to publish them.

Documentation and Sources

My source policy is evolving and not as consistent as I would wish. My goal is to provide sources for the digital images used, letters referenced in the postings, and other sources not widely available. I will not be providing sources for materials available on the major websites, though am more than happy to share those sources upon request.

While I believe the material presented is accurate, there are no guarantees when it comes to genealogy. Should anyone have questions about my conclusions or sources please contact me.
