This article is more than about Elisha Cragun, this is for all of you.
FamilySearch Family Tree is not fully functional yet, but it is in a great mode. A few of Elisha's ancestors have been researching him. Much of that research is now attached to Family Tree. That means no one has to duplicate that research. A recent addition by Gaylynn Heiner Hone provided about 100 pages of research I was about to undertake. Thank you again Gaylynn.
A most important reference was to an online book by a dcragun. Thank you dcragun. This was an awesome addition to the Elisha's Tree, for all of us and our posterity.
Here is a copy and summary of the 14 sources attached to Elisha Cragun. You are invited to go to http://familysearch.org/ and sign in for an account. Once you have done that, family tree is an option in the menu bar on top.
As a FamilySearch employee, I'm glad to see you using the sources feature to point to all kinds of very good and different information about your ancestor. I think this is an awesome way for people to add value to the tree and provide future users with a wealth of information to learn more about their ancestors. I've started doing the same with some of my ancestors. You've done an awesome job! My only suggestion is to make a bit better use of the citation field in some of them to help a user find the source again in the event the URL doesn't work anymore.
