PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE

This web site is information that has been gathered by me (Alfreda Potrafke, gggg granddaughter of William Watson, Sr.) & Mark Jordan on the descendants of William Watson, Sr., who was born between 1770-1780 in Pennsylvania; and died in 1840 in Brown County, Ohio.

Hopefully this website will attract others who are also researching this family, and we can work together to combine all our research, pictures, documents, etc.

I was very close to my paternal grandmother (Sarah Mozella Watson-Potrafke). She was the greatest person in the world to me… and will always be. She was a very influential person in my life, and I am very grateful to have had her as a part of it.

The boxes of journals, pictures, documents, etc. which belonged to my paternal grandparents, and which my dad gave to me, are the reason I do family history research today.

Thanks to all who have done research on this Watson Family History. If anyone would like to contribute anything to this website, or would like more information from me, please email me at amrecordresearch@gmail.com. I have barely touched the surface of adding the information I have to this website. Also, if you see any errors on this site, please let me know. And suggestions are always welcome!

We kindly ask that anyone extracting information, documents or photos from this website to please indicate where you got this information. It’s very important when doing genealogy to cite your sources (meaning to document any and all information regarding where this information, document, picture, etc. came from; i.e. who, when, where, etc.). We also ask that you please do not use anything from this web site to make a profit of any kind (including putting it on the web sites which people have to pay a fee to join). We have spent countless hours and lots of money to get a lot of the information included here, and it is for the use of others who are researching their ancestry.
