I have written about and studied the life of George Solifelt for several years. Below I've listed the page counts from a number of his most memorable "footprints," the majority of which were from the National Archives(US) and ordered thru document retrieval services. I didn't include his birth, marriage, death and census records in this listing although statements in his pension and book mark files give further details on all but the census records. A list of previous residences is included and somewhat helpful in locating census records although certain timeframes are vague and questionable. My blog posts about the records can be found by clicking on the link for each in the listing. Just when I think I have found all of the documents I could possibly find that deal with George, he proves me wrong. George Solifelt is the ancestor we all wish we had. He left an amazing paper trail.
