Hi! I'm a WikiTree greeter, and a guest sent me the following information - but I can't find what profile she's referring to, I don't know what's meant by "EOL" and no source was given:

"I was just wanting to let whoever know that William horrall of 1757's father was William horrall of 1736,albemarle,va,d. abt 1787,henry co va.m. mary hobson.HIS father was William orrill 1704,goochland,va.unknown spouse.as far as I can find out,orrill is EOL. to many steps to post it,hope it helps." (from Sheryl t.)

As she said... hope it helps :D

Liz,

I believe "EOL" means End Of Line-- i.e., further back beyond this person remains unknown.
exactly! and the sources are ancestry searches,
Sheryl,

What kind of Ancestry[.com?] searches?

User-contributed family trees? Vital Records?

We try to find sources stronger than user contributed trees (unless those trees have good sources).

In any case, we need something a bit more specific before we can attach a father to him.

Do love that you're jumping right in. Welcome to Wikitree.
Thanks y'all!

Hi Jillaine,

That looks like the profile to me as well.

All the best
