The Fuqua Database

The Fuqua Databases contain about 40,000 family members. They have been compiled by Claire Fuqua, based on original research and the results of research conducted by family members who are dedicated to building the database.

  No claim is made regarding the accuracy of the information included in the databases. Although some of the information has been proven, and sources can be cited, the bulk represents work accomplished by ordinary family members with varying degrees of genealogical skill. In many cases, they did not record the source of the information they assembled.

  Every effort has been made to apply logic and reasonableness to the compilation of information. In some cases submitted information has not been included because of obvious errors. In those cases the submitters were contacted and a joint effort was made to resolve the issues. When issues were resolved, the information was added to the database. In rare cases, submitters were unwilling to correct proven errors. In those cases the erroneous information was rejected for compilation and inclusion in the database.

  Database information is offered, without charge or obligation, on the basis that it represents a possible guide, or road map, which can be used to facilitate traditional genealogical research.

  Because many of those who were involved have moved on to other endeavors, and because most of the readily available information has been incorporated, the growth of the databases has slowed considerably. However, Claire continues her research efforts, and progress continues. It is hoped that those who access the databases will find something of value.

  The primary database has been split into three separate databases. The "Main" database includes family members whose connections to one another are defined. There should be no unconnected persons in this database.

  The "Fragmented" database includes individuals or small connected groups of people whose connection to those in the main database has not yet been established.

  The "Black-Mulatto" database includes all persons who were so identified in the research records. They are presented separately for research convenience, and no other reason. Those who are offended or who assume any other motive need to get a life.

  It is hoped that users of these databases will submit additions/corrections to Claire at [email protected]. Such contributions will enhance the overall research value of the databases, and will represent a painless "Thank you" for the thousands of hours which have been spent building them. It would be particularly beneficial to establish connections between the people in the main and fragmented databases.
