Housekeeping Items – Please Read

Before we begin sharing our heritage gathered over a period of two decades or more, let’s get a few housekeeping things out of the way. As I do updates to this site, they will be posted under the obvious category, SITE UPDATES. Other items will more than likely fall under RESEARCH NOTES, and a few will be covered by ADMINISTRATION. As I develop the site, it may expand into other categories.

I have a database run by Family Tree Maker 2014 software. Actually, I have TWO databases. One is my working database located on my computer; the other is the database that appears online that you look through. The computer database is constantly updated (several times a day at times), but the online database is only updated when a major change (usually in the number of ancestors displayed) is made. Uploading it to the Internet is a chore since the software I use for the conversion creates a few thousand files that upload one at a time.

My online database, uploaded last on October 22, 2014, has profiles on 25,223 individual ancestors, 4473 surnames, 7398 marriages, and covers a total of 141 generations. A typical generation is usually considered to be 25-30 years, so you can do the math, or take my word for it – 3525-4230 years! Now, I’m not going to tell you everything you see is “gospel,” but I didn’t make it up, either. All the information you see is online somewhere, however source information and accuracy of information may be scarce in some instances.

I was once told that Genealogy research was difficult, at best, unless your ancestors owned property, belonged to a church, or did something important while they were alive. Truth be told, many of our ancestors weren’t the kind to leave much of a mark on the world and were forgotten, resulting in only a few generations of records. On the other hand, others have books written about them, we find them in encyclopedias, or they did remarkable thingsĀ  in politics, the military, the church, or some other endeavor to the point that someone wrote down and saved information about them.

Some who work on Genealogy are “snobs,” thinking that only the most complete and most accurate paper trail defines their ancestors’ value to the story of mankind. Personally, I believe a few generations is all it takes to put a question mark on what one sees and reads in their research, unless it is verified in other sources. Sources are hard to come by for most people, so oftentimes we work on Genealogy for the fun of it, taking what we find with a grain of truth that still needs to be proven by other means. In short, Genealogy is not worth getting upset about if the truth is somewhat lacking; you just keep looking for it. No one’s information is really any better than anyone else – that’s why we collaborate, constantly sharing and comparing.
