It's obvious that a merge is necessary from Hutchinson Family, but I'd like to check the sources used on that article first. If any are unreliable, those sections should not be merged. — BrianSmithson 13:16, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Okay, I've checked the sources. They are websites that do not themselves cite sources and for which there is no evidence of editorial oversight. As primary sources, they fail WP:RS guidelines, so I will not be merging the information into this article. Here is the text that was at "Hutchinson Family":
Here are the external links (probably the sources of the article):
If anyone can find reliable sources for this information, it should be merged in. — BrianSmithson 08:37, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
I did not write the original article, and do not know about the first two web links, but I did add the two external links to the Alan Lewis websites which are thoroughly sourced and documented. "Hutchinson Family Singers Home Page by Alan Lewis" consists of two works -- one is an annotated version of the published book "The Story Of The Hutchinsons" by John W. Hutchinson, and the other is an online biography by Alan Lewis that is saturated with references to source publications and documents. "Heralds Of Freedom" is a direct link to the second work, and the author is one of today's foremost authorities on the Hutchinson Family Singers. Although my links weren't sources for the article, I think the links belong with the article since they lead to the best online information on this topic. Personally, I found the original Wikipedia article to be acceptably accurate, and the only necessary correction I made, to both articles incidentally, was to change Milford's state from Massachusetts and Connecticut to the right one of New Hampshire.

Someone needs to add information about the HFS's move to Minnesota and their founding of Hutchinson, MN as a utopian, dry community. I don't have the background to do this, though I have just created a link from that community's page to this page. Note this information (from a timeline) on the Minnesota Historical Society page: http://events.mnhs.org/timepieces/EventDetail.cfm?EventID=397 .
Thanks, Steve
I removed this paragraph because no source was cited for it:
It could very well be true, but we need to cite sources. — Amcaja ( talk) 01:29, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Who keeps screwing up this article?
The best one was several versions ago. Not only that, but this picture is not the Hutchinson Family Singers, it's the Hutchinson FAMILY. Didn't there used to be a picture here of Abby, John, Judson and Asa? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.181.53.76 ( talk) 03:21, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
