Do You Remember in Your Tree?
Do You Remember Small Stuff In Your Tree?
Being full of questions today this will be a string of them, so bear with me, please.
Reading Dick Eastman's Blog jarred a my mind, which I am hoping to maybe rattle
yours with thoughts.
Having lived a interesting life that I had not thought of like that before, I realized much of
what I have lived is not in the family tree. It was small stuff to me. Realizing that it may be to
me but not if someone else is trying to remember me. O, do you think of that when you are doing Genealogy?
With our world trying to go upside down, suspecting maybe a different slate on thinking on our
data might help the future and ourselves in our research. Do You Agree?
Love using a Timeline, how intense or casual should it be?
Miss our general sessions and much has transpired. Would love to know how in depth you do your
personal time line for the future to see ?

Names, Places, Changes, and More.
Well, having received a My Heritage.com Match, I gave it a look. I read and reread dates and places. Went to my tree and what did I see.
Basically confusion, many dates were correct but places names were not, mmm that could be a boundary change right?
To add to the confusion, it was a generation of correct and then a generation of, off a year, different town etc.
Thinking maybe they were copying someones tree or trees.
NO that can't be people are honest and do not do that right??? ooo WRONG. But not having proof
wrote a letter requesting more information on the sources and family as they presented it.
Back to having to dig up the history better than what I can remember it to see if it was boundary changes or something else. History is so important in our research.
History if it had been recorded right would have probably prevented much mayhem of today. Or had the students learned it more cleanly.
How often when you get matches do you have these problems? Is it more prevalent or less?
Normally I only use solid sources for matches.
Realizing not all names come with that I do try to do more comparing and asking questions.
What kind of success do you have when you get offered matches on your tree?
Please respond.
Trying to determine if a class on this topic would be a good event. Thanks.

Earlier Americans on the Move
Just scanned through a report from Dick Eastman and it is sad we forget so much over the years.
I learned this so long ago I had totally forgotten it. Which brings to mind I think there is another like this out there.
Dick just did a write up about : The Confederates Who Moved to Brazil.
It is worth receiving and if doesn't apply delete but you can garner much information reading his information he shares.
