Welcome to my obsession/hobby at Family History Land.
I have an old notebook where I do my scribblings of information while I am working on the Family History, I decided today to check all these notes thereby making sure anything relevant is entered into my software.
I am linking grandchildren births and deaths in so that I have a full family picture, I decided to start with my great grandfather. Unfortunately this meant adapting the software wording etc, so it has turned out to be based on trial and error.
The number of scribbles are unbelievable, I feel like the old western miners who hit upon a vein of gold. Deciphering them is another matter though! What did I mean by e.g. George 1827? Was it a year of estimated birth and he needs researching? I now try to make full notes so they make sense when viewed later.
An interesting event yesterday was contact re-established with my cousin who has now got a website and he has offered to host a web page for me SO if you go to http://www.dennill.name/ you see all the info I have on the descendants of John Dennel born about 1703.
Every time I find something new and update the software information I will send it to him and he will put the update on the website. You can reach me at the email address that is on the web page and also here ptdennell@yahoo.com
