References

To begin this quest, I am using two initial references.

1. How to Do Everything with your Genealogy, by George G. Morgan. Published by McGraw-Hill/Osborne.
2. The Unknown Matisse, by Hilary Spurling. Published by Alfred A. Knopf.

My initial plan is to work this problem from both directions - top down and bottom up. The bottom up approach is to go from our ancestry up and out. The top down approach is to go from Henri Emile Benoit Matisse down and out.

In addition to quoting from these sources, I will at times, comment on the quality of the sources and their usefulness in the search.
