Randal:
There is no significance to the yellow color of the sheet for the Roitsch family other than I must have used up my white sheet supply. Either I did
not encounter the Roitsch name earlier in the research of I had no early evidence the family was Wendish. As I mentioned in the Introduction, I made
these pages for my own use and I did not attempt to include the source for information. Even so, there are two sources on the Roitsch page: the 1880
Fayette County Census and the name at the bottom of the page—Arnold Roitsch Rt. 2, Box 74, Manor, Texas. The only time I recorded information in red
is if the information was gathered while in East Germany.
You become the detective when there is conflicting information. What are the sources? Which one is the most reliable? You could even state your choice
and footnote the other option. Best wishes on your research.
