To-Do List
March 19, 2012 - 7:50:01 p.m.

This is my major to-do list, and I would appreciate any assistance with completing any items here.

Large Projects

  • Hire a professional Irish genealogy researcher to find the Creighton family living in Northern Ireland (likely Co. Antrim) before they emigrated to America in the 1770s. I was thinking I should do this as a co-operative endeavor with others who would be interested in this information so as to spread the cost out to be much more affordable for everyone.
  • Acquire more of the back issues for the Clarke County Historical Quarterly. I plan to order the few that seem most applicable to my research, but many of the issues seem to contain valuable background and area information for understanding the lives of our Creighton ancestors in Alabama before, and during, the Civil War.
  • A more complete search through the issues of the South Western Baptist newspaper for mentions of Elder Hiram Creighton and his relatives.

My focus for my research is primarily on the Creighton surname, with similar focus on Poling, and Lancaster names, and, to a slightly lesser extent, Wedge and Welton. Secondary focus names are Allen, Bentley, and Felton. However, I am indeed interested in any data on anyone related to me, no matter how far away.

I have used a fair number of internet trees to expand my info and fill in the gaps. They are, for the most part, unsourced information and should be taken with a grain of salt. I am in the process of verifying, and adding my own research to that data. You can usually tell where I have already been, as I try to source everything I possibly can. Note: Living people (to the best of my knowledge) are hidden.

I welcome collaboration and sharing. Please send me corrections to my info (sourced, please). And I welcome more documents and photos too! Please signup for an account if you wish to participate and contribute to this project.
