1 Unknown author, Armitage.FTW (Ancestry.com, online <http://www.ancestry.com>, download by Jenny Bethurem on an unknown date). This database was originally downloaded in gedcom format from Ancestry.com (probably about 1998.) It was converted to a Family Tree Maker file and then imported into my main Family Tree Maker file which is where the "Armitage.FTW" notations comes from. This was early in my genealogy habit, so I didn't do a good job documenting where I found my information. If anyone recognizes the notes from their own research, please contact me so I can give credit where credit is due. Jenny Bethurem <family@bethurem.com>.
