Research notes for Thomas

Why the Thomas Zuraff/Mary Marion Family is here...

Thomas and Mary are NOT related to me. Nor are any of their children. Two of those children - Agnes and Constantine - married kin. This puts these two children into my in-law category. Normally, I would not add the rest of the family, however, Agnes and Con married the brother-sister combo of Joseph and Jennie Burke. In order to successfully show full double-cousin status, the parents of Agnes and Con have to be in my database. While this breaks my "rule" of not extending in-laws, I have made an exception here.
