Getting the Story to Match the Research Findings

06/03/2015 by Joanna Rickert-Hall

Over the past 8 months, I have poured through a number of family documents, historic documents and all kinds of published articles (most of which feature the same information, clearly borrowed from one another in scope and information). What was the most frustrating was that there is a decided lack of published, cited, academic articles from which to draw upon for research information so going through primary documentation just makes good sense.

What was the  most surprising, however, was that what I found in the primary documents did NOT correspond with what is most commonly discussed about Adelaide Hoodless or the death of her young son, John Harold!
