Continue adding every scrap of data you find about family members, near and distant, especially details that add life to your records. I have historical sources, such as: The Great Meadow, Farmers and the Land in Colonial Concord by Brian Donahue (2004) has detailed data about various Hartwel family members. Google books brought up fascinating data about individuals in various professions.
