Helen Campbell Gillette Obit 1907

Have you ever wondered how to create a tree or branch from just a few clues?

Here are the steps I took to complete a branch for Helen Campbell Gillette.

(Links to items are at the bottom of this posting)

I found an obituary for Helen Campbell Gillette.

I started a tree for her.

---

I then found a bio for her husband Edward

---

The Fleisher Family needs to be tied in to Gillette or Campbell.

---

So Effie Fleisher is a Campbell.

---

---

---

I still do not have a confirmation that my Helen of the Obit is the Helen of the Isabell Campbell family.

---

I find a death notice.

Then I find the new Obit.

---

No more question. I have a confirmation.

---

I find a death notice for Isabelle as a married woman.

---

So the branch is complete.

---

But it took more than just these 17 steps; there were many leads that I had to follow.

Thank You.

Jose from Clarkston, Michigan
