In this book you will meet two adventuresome Crocketts. Learn how their life experiences are surprisingly parallel although separated by a century. Family stories can tell us much about our history, values, and narratives. They can also lead us to famous and infamous people in our family tree. Finding Davy Crockett is such a journey. You will read James P. Crockett III's (pen name Jimmy Highpocket) "yarns" of his childhood in Missouri and Texas and the autobiographical "yarns" of his second great grand Uncle David Crockett. You will also learn how to bring your families' past to life by using the tools and quality research standards available today. This book makes clear what is quality genealogical research. We outline how NOT to go "barking up the wrong family tree" based on other peoples' or websites' research. We emphasize the importance of original research and documentation. We include rich descriptions of Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) and other genealogical groups as gold standards of quality research and verification.
