It's a Brave New World for Me

I have been on the fence for a number of years about putting my research out there for the world to see. It's not that I don't want to share, but like many others, I have spent many years and a lot of money researching, and I just don't want the copy and pasters of the world to take the information I have discovered and repost it without verifying the information themselves.

I have been rethinking this quite a bit lately, and a recent reply by Michael John Neill concerning one of his recent blog posts¹ made me realize I want to do what he does, post blogs about the family instead of pedigree charts.

Since tomorrow is a new month, I will start August with my 3rd great-grandparents, Benjamin Campbell and Elizabeth (Betsy) Stoops, and their 6 children, Philip Stephen, Samuel M., Benjamin, Daniel, Anna Bell, and John Stoops. I don't plan for these posts to be full biographies, just very small sketches of who they were.
