I'm experimenting with posting some random bits of my genealogy research here. This particular individual was born less than 20 years after the Civil War ended and would have lived through World War I. They are not a direct ancestor but a very distant cousin. I have to go back to about 1730 to find a common ancestor. According to the relationship calculator in Gramps, Vertie Belle Foster is my fourth cousin three times removed.

Research comes from a variety of online sources, original documents and personal knowledge. Generally, if the source was from another researcher online, their original sources are used. More information and details about the sources can sometimes be found by clicking on the associated link at the bottom in the "Source References" section.
The information below is an extract from a report I generated via the Gramps genealogy software from a family tree I originally created with GenoPro and then modified to look reasonable here (as much as I could anyway).
