Question:

OK, Doral and Roland Pearman who are they?

Ok so I am very excited but have tried on my own to find more info on these 2 twins, like marriages,kids, also Patrick Pearman and his family... I I could use some more help!!!!


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Had to go back to your prior question.. as mentioned, obituaries for as many of these persons as you can find will help.
One place I like to hang out is www.genforum.com, where people searching the same name focus. I went to the Pearman section, and used "twin" for the search term... and found another set of twins! Connected??
Next.. I ran search for Richmond. There were numerous hits, none with the specific names you want. But... being the same town, it is very possible that once you get back a generation or so, these postings can be your pay dirt.
I will search genforum using as many search terms as I can think of.. name of county, spouse last name, etc. What you want MAY not have the exact wording you expected.
Many families posting on genforum have what I call the family "guru", that is, the person who decides they want to pull it all together. Sometmes they are obvious because they show up every other posting. Sometimes, I will click their name, and take a gander at their posting history, since subject lines may be a hot lead.
Ancestry also has surname boards that are free and you can search. And don't overlook that rootsweb has surname email lists, that can come right to your doorstep. And old messages are available in archives.
County genweb sites will often have cemetery records posted, some have census extracts, marriages, etc. The kindest ones have a search box to hunt for any place your surname might show up, on THAT SITE.
There are so MANY places to cross check, it gets dizzying!
