After a much longer hiatus that I had intended due to personal issues I am returning to blogging about my family history research.
I have resumed my Ancestry.com membership and have discovered that I can no longer access my family tree there which does not particularly bother me because I intended to delete it and start over again. I have begun and I will institute the following rules:
1. Other family trees are not sources.
2. This tree is for research purposes only.
3. Did I mention not sourcing other family trees?
I will continue posting family group sheets for the virtual family tree project.
As I continue to reintegrate myself with the online Genealogy Community, I will blog about it here.

Family of Sheridan Landis Hunsicker and Emily Farquhar
When I started looking into my family history I only knew
the names of my parents and grandparents.
I found this family once I discovered A Genealogical History of the Hunsicker Family.
I do not have any original documents for members of this
family other than my grandfather, Clifford Sheridan Hunsicker. Therefore the
only sources will be the book mentioned above and the census with a few other
things like the SSDI and the Pennsylvania Death Index.
With this family I have taken my tree back three generations
through my father William Robert Hunsicker, my grandfather Clifford Sheridan
Hunsicker, and my great grandfather Sheridan Landis Hunsicker.
This will be the next family for which I look for original
documents after I have found everything for my grandparents.

Family Tree Rebuild Status Update - 7/14/12
I am continuing to add sources to my family tree. I am very surprised to find all of the sources I already have. It is going to take some time to cite all of them.
While preparing the next family group sheet post I realized that I can create a virtual family tree here on this blog by linking the family group sheet posts together. In order to have the information to do that I am adding the spouses of all of the children who had spouses to my family tree so that I have that information available for the family group sheet posts.
More information (and a constantly updated index of names) will be posted next.

Family Tree Rebuild Update - 6/10/11
All main branches have been entered back to the earliest ancestor listed in the family histories for that line as shown in my original family tree rebuild post here.
I am sourcing information from A Genealogical History of the Kolb, Kulp, or Culp Family for individuals also listed in A Genealogical History of the Hunsicker Family. Once I have completed this I will begin sourcing all of the original documents I have plus documents I can easily acquire from places such as Ancestry.com.
As I have added the information from the various family histories I have noticed that even though the source is original (despite the fact that I have copies that have been reproduced either on paper or electronically (or both)) I have come to realize that the information is secondary (not primary) in that the authors were reporting second hand information that they found in their research without citing the source. Therefore, until I find a primary source or several different secondary sources (not another family history) of information I will consider these facts as unproven.
