 Thank you for once again joining us for our Wednesday live cast reveal. It's going to be fun I have over here Mary Roddy and we have been working hard on her week trying to take down some of those brick walls for her and Then our upcoming guest below me is Mary and Berkwood and we'll be introducing her a little bit later now Mary's captain Donna was supposed to be here, but I think something happens If she doesn't show up, we're gonna move on. Yes, and Chris Ferriero says hey, I'm Eminem, so we're even better than Eminem We got that we got the 3m show today And so let's go ahead and start with this And I'm gonna tell you just real quick in case you don't know what wiki tree is already a little bit about it We are a community of genealogists who are working together on a single family tree In other words, we collaborate to grow an accurate global tree that connects us all and it's free The wiki tree challenge is our year-long event and part of our year of accuracy And we're coming up to a wrap on that But let me tell you it's been a lot of fun and each week We've taken a guest star and we've worked together on their branches to make them as complete and accurate as anywhere else And hopefully a little bit more now our goal has been to improve the accuracy on wiki tree Add more family connections and make more friends and we've definitely done this so once again, we are going to highlight what we found for Miss Mary Roddy and You know, I've said it before and I'll say it again that a lot of times when we get to these brick walls They aren't necessarily brick walls for the guests. They just maybe are you know, either records weren't available at That time a lot of times they're busy with real life and they can't get to all 600 ancestors So, you know, some of them they just haven't been back to in a while But that's okay because we try and look at them all and and see what we can find But I will tell you that Mary definitely had us Searching hard because she has got those lines to places where the records were hard to find or impossible to find Or just aren't available right now. I know some of our Unfortunately German church records were not available online So we are going to go through the eight great-grandparents. We're gonna go ahead and start on that cursor line Now Mary after the death of your third great-grandfather Christian Friedrich Gottlieb Kircher and I'll apologize now for any names I hatch it because I always mess somebody's up and I'm not well. I am a little bit German, but I don't speak German When he died your third great-grandmother, Johanna, Elizabetha Wilhelmine Remarried at age 40 to a man just 23 and I wasn't sure if you're aware of the age difference on that Now this is one of those lines unfortunately where the family comes from Nordhausen, Thuringian And those are definitely not online and so we can research this But I get to say in late-breaking news and we're talking Like an hour and a half ago Somebody found the marriage record for your third great-grandfather Heinrich Friedrich Althoff and she's like wait many and I've already got everything, you know All the Donna stuff is set up and she's like, but I found something else Oh, let me put it in there real quick. I'll find a spot But he was also a Heinrich Friedrich so not a hard name to remember. I already know the first one But you know, that's that's kind of fun that you have that and now Hopefully you'll be able to kick off and find that the wife's name on that one And you know here it's also just showing that there was some discussion with our experts and You know people had asked like why Why this young man would suddenly go from one area to a completely different area and wind up in Berlin And so, you know, we were lucky. I know Dieter is like I said, he's one of our German experts You know, he wasn't available to us all week But for the days that he was he was really great and he's always so patient, you know And he kind of explained about the revolution and how things happen and actually the timing was that exact year and he's like, oh, yeah That's when it yeah, I did fight had seen something on them that They were my family for my kinship determination project the courage and the church where they got married in Berlin was like You know, I don't know a week before or two weeks before and they're huge huge battle just like two blocks away Right. So it was they were just right in the thick of it So we were excited to get anything on that line though We kind of had written that part off going okay, they're just not gonna find it now here We have on that same line though. We have Maria Louise. Is it how hope I don't have to say it She was born about 1741 in Berlin and she was baptized on the 12th of February at a Lutheran church Which I noticed for the church records I did see people posting they were Lutheran and per her baptism records her parents were Johan Casper and Katharina Sophia So further research show the mother's maiden name to be mentin, which you did Yeah, yeah, so that's gonna open up an entirely new surname line for you nice Hopefully those will be a little bit more available Now we did have a little bit of movement over on the Springer line, which was nice First one of the first brick walls that came down was the mother of Elizabethan and that was Elizabethan Scheib who married a Springer And her mother was also known to be in Elizabeth. But we didn't have a maiden name for her That turned out to be Weber Which was recorded in the burial record of her daughter in 1840 I didn't know when she died. So that's great Yeah, you'll find all kinds of for the records, you know that That aren't posted to the profiles Most of them have links to them on each one So you can actually go and download that document for yourself and have for your for your own records But yeah, we were excited to see some of these change And then here this was Dieter again, one of our german researchers found the burial record now She had died in 1813 and this is Elizabetha Holtz In Capellan and was buried on the 29th of december Her parents as listed on the record were Simon Holtz and Margarita whose maiden name was Maundra Sheep So More excitement more new ancestors and I know you're gonna have so much fun looking at these new names and who these new people are And for um, Katharina, of course, she was only 41 years old when she died not very old She had married Christoph Springer about 1794 And his parents as indicated in his death record were Nicholas Springer and Barbara Heckler Springer So two more brick walls down right there Yeah, you're gonna have some fun branches to work on really. Yeah Oh, that's so exciting Now this one and we know we talked about this last week how much just incredible amount of time You have put in on the on the Bradley line and your notes are just intensive on that We know you've done this extensive research already, you know, and unfortunately I don't think we found a whole lot you did but all of your information is on wiki tree And anything else our researchers found on top of that Is also noted on the profile So you should see a lot of notes and that is one thing I really really like about wiki tree Is we have kind of that white space, you know, so we can write a narrative But also our research logs basically go on the profile. So if we say we looked here couldn't find it It's on the profile You know, if you want to know, oh who found that death record You can look in the changes log if they didn't notate it and you can see who added it And you know, and so there should be some really really good clues I know Cheryl and and some of the others did a lot of work on that line Now it is fun though to see The probate and you know, we had a couple of sparse weeks for probate. So I'm sure One of our master transcribers Stephen was getting a little bored, but this week we had wills for him It was like Stephen. Are you done with the other one? Stephen? We got another one for you And you know to me It's just fun because every little bit of information you can find about these ancestors brings them back to life You know and let you know a little bit about their family And so one of the interesting things that our researchers found is that your second great grandfather peter bradley In his probate documents now his children were 14 and under when he died So none of them were that old and although they were listed in one of the documents There was no guardianship appointed which is odd for that large of a family You know, none of the uncles or or whoever Step forward and or guardians the mother kept the children But they did take everything I'm assuming because they wanted to make sure the kids were taken care of And a lot of his probate instead of being in the probate files is in the orphan's docket court files And so there was some really cool stuff about his Real estate and inventories of what he had and it was a lot of fun And you know, we noticed that although his real estate was valued at four thousand dollars in the 1860 census When he died, of course, he died in test date with with debt And that was why all of this stuff was going through that that orphan's court And so in 1862 after they had published and done the you know outcry on the premises and everything You know where they were ordered to go ahead and sell the Sell the property so that the funding could go back in I'm sure partially to the widow and partially to pay his debts Peter's brother john purchased the real estate for six dollars and 25 cents And they said he was being the highest and best bidder at the sale now, you know I tend to spin things or or think things are probably a little more positive necessarily than they are negative And i'm almost wondering if he didn't do that so he could hang onto the property for the widow And that is my my guess is that she lived there for I think she was there in the 1870 census in duncansville, so um Yeah, it was probably just a token payment and and You know she didn't have a didn't need a guardian for the kids So I guess for the brothers-in-law Trusted that that she would take care of the kids and they provided her The ability to do that property and that's what I think and that makes sense really at first I was shocked. I was like, what do you mean six dollars and they're like no That's really what it says six dollars and and 25 cents But you know probably the rest of the items that they sold from the property paid the debt His debt must not have been that big and you'll see you'll get these documents that say, you know Like you can see the spotted bull and the small red cow You know other things they had a sort of cattle and old sled he had a cider mill and press so he made cider That's interesting He had a riding saddle a coal basket and he had two looking glasses So I'm not sure what he used those for but that's really interesting And wouldn't it be fun if you could find out where any of those items were? Modern time that would be so cool I love looking at the the stuff they put in some of these old records Yeah, you too That's really cool Now here's another one and we're still branching a course off of that same great grandfather We had some of course that you know, they had more movement than some of the other great grandfathers really didn't go anywhere but this one did and A course spelling difficulties always happen and especially when you wind up with accents And and immigrants, you know, and so here we have there's like I'm sure more spellings than this But you're on and with a y or with a j or with an i or you know, there's different spellings John georger fifth great grandfather Was born in 1733 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania In his baptism record recorded on the 10th of december. It showed his father to be matias uran His mother unfortunately was listed as mrs matias uran. So I know right so I think they just forgot to ask what the mom's name was because they're usually pretty good about at least putting a first name for And they didn't even have that The sponsors were john george or and his wife elizabeth. I'm gertrond. So that he gets a name I know right, but it'd be kind of fun to see. Um, you know, if they tie in with the family somehow or they're just But in looking for matias's wife's name His marriage luckily was found Which listed her as maria magdalena fister daughter of conrad fister. So she got a name Yay And then that's the actual um what you see on the slide there that's the actual marriage record for matias and his wife And so does it have the parents names? It has the father's names for both. Oh daughter of conrad fister. Yeah, okay. Yeah. Yeah, it has the fathers for both Which is standard. Unfortunately the writing's a little bad for that But once you get to blow it up, you'll be able to get in there with with a glass looking glass, you know Our magnifying glass and you can look for it. Um, but yeah, that was really fun to find And oh and so because of this as a really nice result And you didn't have a lot of explosions, but on this line you do you now have 10 new direct ancestors on that line 10 And that was a difficult difficult, um, you know, those those pennsylvania germans I'm going back into germany really hard to trace And so and I think if we had had more time you would have had a lot more probably back in these branches Um, but for right now, this is what what you have So that with those pennsylvania ones I wonder if there's I gotta take those names And look for some dar stuff. I bet with those pennsylvania ones that they're Quite likely I've got some some new patriots on that line Oh, I'll bet I'll bet you do somewhere and you know, we try and look for that as we go along But you know, of course when we get in the crunch and everybody's just trying to get everything through Before the end then sometimes it uh the military ones don't make it to our list Now this was on the mansberger line and I know that you know people worked really hard on this one And one of the things that we do have to do is not necessarily Your cleanup, but our cleanup. Oh, we got a visitor Um on wiki tree and they had some cleaning up to do and some disconnecting and You know and then because of all of that and trying to make sure we don't have mistakes on your branches on wiki tree It didn't get to go any further But I will say that yohan martin ansberger your fourth great-grandfather. You already knew he was a migrating ancestor He traveled from and I can't say that place in germany to pennsylvania another pennsylvania dutch He was only 26 years old when he migrated And our palatine migration project, which is another one of our great projects They improve and protect the profiles for german immigrants that settle in north america ireland and elsewhere before the american revolution And they have taken him into their fold and they will be caring for him and and doing further research on him So I I'm always excited to see when a project takes him over because you know that they're gonna You know definitely have something done on him Really cool Now here we had on the germaya hearty line Research proved that the grandfather of barnie andrews was a william andrews the same as his father barnie's great-grandfather So that would be your seventh great-grandfather thomas andrews born about was born about 1663 in england Now this was an interesting story Um They were talking about he was 21 years old when he migrated to the colonies now with him was a bridge at lou grove and six other immigrants And they all you know as was standard at the time Um, it were indentured for a certain amount of years So they had indentured themselves for four years to this gentleman And they came over and then of course, you know, they were supposed to be able to live free and have land and so, um Something happened with bridges somehow. Maybe they just really liked her service. I don't know But when the four years was up everybody left but her everybody was rewarded but her And finally, I guess at the seven-year mark. She was like, um, I was only indentured as long as the rest of them Why am I still here? And so she had to fight for it, you know and try and get statements and stuff from other people and at first They're like, oh, we don't remember seeing an indenture for her. No, there was nothing She didn't have a time limit. So Finally, she was able I guess to get there where the family was able to get the records Uh showing that all of these people had come over and the rest of them all had that four-year contract and so, um, she wasn't a direct ancestor, but you know, your your ancestor was involved in this entire thing and her service, uh, the oh after her service was over, she finally did get her part of the land Now there were 394 acres total That was held for these eight people that were transported and so they got a really nice chunk of land out of it They just just your Thomas got his three years sooner And then it was interesting though, you know, sometimes you find and once again these little tidbits of things that make somebody different Uh, there was something one of our researchers maddie found in the parish records And it said, um, bristol parish at a vestry held at the chapel december 7 17 20 thomas andrews being ancient and crazy and not able to work Is acquitted from paying the parish levies so I think there's a little bit of, you know Pork poor man dementia or something. Yeah Ancient and crazy boy. I like that. I know, right? That's an unusual combination. Um, yeah Ancient and crazy. So we were having a little bit of a gig all over that one Now here, of course, are your some of yours because I know you have more um, American revolutionary patriots and so of course you have a third great grandfather john mansberger and um Then you have your fourth great grandfather benjamin gey Who provided patriotic service? So it's still a dar um patriot Just not a soldier your fourth great grandfather varnie andrews was a private in virginia Your fifth great grandfather william hardy Also provided patriotic service in virginia and of course that one's your dar patriot now But now you have some company And i'm sure yeah, yeah a few more on the branches that we don't have down and then we just had the one Notable one for the civil war your second great grandfather george washington brown Who was a private in ohio? I don't think I knew that um Yeah, I I I have a story about When morgan's raiders came through ohio and I forget whether it was him or maybe his father um Shouldered his squirrel rifle and went out against the gorilla band um So this is interesting. I I didn't know about that Have to check that out. Yep Okay, now this is what we started with of course You know our starting fan chart. We didn't have a lot of your ancestors So this is basically what we had on wiki tree and for anybody, you know that works with genealogy at some point You work with these fan charts and this is a nine generation just because that's kind of been the average of what is Suits our purpose to work with and so we go through several stages of those Now next what we have is all of these yellow spots are of course mary's brick wall. She's like yep I know that one and that one Or I don't know that one I don't know who belongs in that spot, but I want to And so this is what I work off of during the week me and the captain um to verify You know if the ancestor that they found really is a brick wall ancestor we mark them So as you see in the pop out on the left, um, you know where there's little bees on the board That means we broke a brick wall. I think you know those last minute couple that you have um aren't on there But uh the rest of them are and so Next what we're going to look at is That's how much you have on wiki tree now So that's your nine generation chart. Um build out on wiki tree now and hopefully you know You and cousins can collaborate. I should have grabbed a screenshot. You have some really beautiful profiles I always get so jealous when I see these you have some of some like Cousins lined up with DNA matches or like all these people Maybe a cousin match so make sure to look for those on the right side of your profile um, I do find them on my mom's side of the Uh branches, but not on my dad's side. So Um, we'll get there one day But always fun to do that There's it's happy to be here seeing mary's big reveal. We've been excited And and I was yeah, I was telling mary before we started I you know, I said this was a hard one to give up I mean it was definitely a Very very challenging week to work on I know we're going to have another challenging week coming up with mary and it's very challenging So, yeah People worked really hard and I always appreciate the amazing work that these guys do. It's just incredible They just never stop Thanks. Thank you guys so much. I just everything that you found is so cool So I really appreciate it Well, so did we meet your your expectations of um You did you did I I um it was really really fun and and That that civil war thing I totally gotta gotta dig into that and you know, some of the other things some of those german lines that the the um, my sprangers, um, I'm really excited about that. So It's gonna give you a lot to play with. I know um a lot of the genealogists that have been on the show You know, one of the they say one of the hardest things through the week is waiting and not looking because it's really hard to not pee You know, but then the other hard thing afterwards you get the big reveal is that you don't want to go to bed You don't want to go to work the next day. You just want to like wait, but I haven't looked at these branches Yeah Oh, kathy novice says yeah, she's one of our researchers brown is a hard name to work with Yeah It definitely is Okay, and now I'm going to go into a little bit about our collaboration and how our point system works and how we got things done during the week Now collaboration is key during the challenge and that's what wiki tree is all about One of the ways we collaborate is to use a spreadsheet And so you'll see on the left We hope to get people to put the profile that they're working on because when you get 25 35 people working on the same set of branches Really easy to step on somebody's research or you know something they're already working on. Um, this helps us keep it apart Now one of the other ways we collaborate on the right you'll see our g2g post Which is our genealogist to genealogist forum Where people can ask anything or just say what they're working on And we put a post out for each guest so that they can go out and post brick walls And I think mary you probably won't find a lot of posts on those because they pretty much were They were just dug in they were all dug in rabbit holes And they'd say something in discord mendy. I got this and then they go But you know, you'll you'll get a copy of of all this important stuff in the links to everything For the points. Uh, whoops, let's do discord We can't forget discord because that honestly is our biggest tool right now the most successful tool besides Our community which is the best The uh, third way we collaborate is discord and we need this So this is a live chat that goes on and there's people on around the clock with us being a global site You know, there's some some country is up in the middle of something and it's the daytime for them So that's where we you know ask questions. Hey, where do I find this resource? Can you help me find an obituary? Um, hey, steven, can you transcribe a will or you know Hey deeter, I need I need a birth record for this person in germany And so we can get help sometimes we just get in there and cheer each other on You know, that's just as important as everything else and Well, it's not all about the points a point system does help us keep people motivated And it helps us kind of stay aware of where we are with our progress So there are two ways to earn points during the week. Now. The first is for bounty points Which is 10 points for each new ancestor Either found or disproven on each line And then the second way is for adding nuclear relatives And you know some of the branches some some of the guests we've had we have huge numbers I'm just because the families are so big and those can really add up on others It's difficult to even find the records. You're happy to get, you know, two or three siblings Which I think we saw a lot of that here This week and so, you know, either way these people work hard for every point that they get And then at the end of the week, of course, we look at those top scores So our mvp this week, which was most valuable player was one of our german experts and that was deeter leverance He did an awesome job and deeter. Thank you so much for Being patient with all my questions today. So I make sure I knew what was going on Um, Cheryl's asking about the back wall. We'll tell you in just a moment. Cheryl because it's a lot of fun Uh, we also like to acknowledge the top five So once again, deeter was at the top. Kathy ravenstein also worked on the german profiles. Um, she did great Ellen smith came in. She has a wide range of experience. She's a project leader as well Really great job maddie hardman and kathy evans. Um, we're up there in that top five and you know Once again, it's not always the points that you see, you know, sometimes it is just people that are Writing narrative They don't get points for that, you know, but it all adds up and I'm going to show that Make sure it's refreshed Okay, so here we have total points in there You'll see those top five again and we did have a little bit of a smaller group But that's still quite a few people we had working this week Now total points was 293 And so that was all of the points that they got for either bounty or adding the, um, nuclear family Created ancestors you had 51 direct ancestors added to your branches. Oh, that is so cool So it's yeah, it's great And for nuclear relatives so siblings or children 132 profiles in a week's time. So they did really good considering the records that that they were working with I'm super impressed Now bounty points 110 which means 11 of those were new or corrected ancestors And um, and actually I think that may not have updated but the last ones that I added and I was telling you They got some not that long before the the broadcast. So yeah, yeah Yeah, it's it's been crazy and then profiles edited now every time and not just for the challenge every time we go in We fix a date, um, you know, we add a source. We do something we write some more narrative Every time we do that the system keeps track of it as a contribution And you can see how many contributions somebody's paid on with the tree. So now we edited 439 unique profiles this week that were related to you And your ancestors and then for total edits 1797 edits So if you stop and think about how long it would take you to make that many changes In additions to your file That is just incredible the cleanup that you guys did on yeah, because like, you know The cobbler's children have no shoes and the genealogy is Tree has no I haven't talked to one that says, oh, yeah, I work on my own branches all the time. They're all like, no I work on everybody else's and I find them some really cool stuff Um, you know, but yeah, but once again Thank you to all your researchers and all the people that worked on Mary's tree. You were just really incredible And before I introduce Marianne, um, we are going to go back to Cheryl's question And she wants to know who's on that brick wall back there. Are you going to show her the park Mary? So this one here is jerry hardy. You mentioned jerry hardy Um, he's my great-grandfather and this is his father-in-law john fields one of my irish brick walls, but um, yeah So santa and his elf That is just so awesome. I love it Okay, and so next we are going to be introducing Marianne and of course she's excited to have her week started And see what we can find about her She is a genealogy speaker who's presented at the international association of jewish genealogical societies conference And many other venues She's a well-known author of genealogy books, including planning a future for your family's past really great stuff in that one Um author of at least two marketing textbooks She is a blogger and you can check her blog out at climbing myfamilytree.blogspot.com Really great. And then Marianne, do you think you could tell us a little bit about pass That is your P as s the past process Is something I developed to try to figure out how to make sure that family history would survive to the next generation and beyond So p is where you prepare and get things organized And a is for allocate ownership Not everything has to be an r collection. Sometimes we can share with other people or with institutions One s has to do with writing it down. We need to set up. That's the s a genealogical will So our families know what happens to our family history when we join our ancestors in the far future And the last s is for share Let's share our family history now We don't have to wait. We can share what we know now so that other researchers Like wiki tree folks can see what we've been doing and build on it And that is just amazing And you know, I definitely like you talk about how you want to document what it all is And for the things you're preserving that is part of Preserving that history. I know my mother-in-law. She has a lot of things from her family But she has it all inventory And it says like who it's from like this quill belong to this person. This bed was made by this person Just some really incredible stuff for you know, when it does go down to future generations and something she does pass along now So it's always nice though I think sometimes the younger generations don't think about it so much, you know Oh, they're just like, oh, that's mom's or grandma's cookie jar But you know what one day that's going to mean a lot to somebody. Maybe I mean, you know Their kids their grandkids are going to be able to go. Wow He really kept that from her that is so cool So yeah, I think that that preparation is amazing Now as far as genealogy itself, what got you interested maryon? Well, light bulb went on in 1998 When I had a cousin who was starting a family tree She was doing a family group sheet on my family And she asked me about my father And his parents And I suddenly realized I knew grandpa Isaac Burke's name But I knew nothing else about him. I didn't know where and when he was born I didn't know where and when he died because it had happened well before my time There was no one left to ask That started me on the genealogy journey and it took five years to find out where and when and why he died That is great though. Now if you had to pick one who is the favorite ancestor you've come across My favorite ancestor is Tilly Jacobs-Moller She was a character She tricked the family into giving her a 100th birthday party before she was 100 No one's really sure exactly how old she was Her gravestone says she died at 99 just short of 100 But let me just say this supposedly she was born in the 1850s If that was true and the wiki tree teams might be able to find out Then her mother Rachel shouhan Jacobs was a really early mom Maybe 12 13 14 years old I don't know, but I'd love to find out Yeah, that genealogy has a way of um, yeah Showing up some of those stories because the records don't generally don't generally lie They might be a little off once in a while, but they don't they don't generally lie Now any other interesting stories that you want to share with with our viewers I'd love to tell you about the reason I'm here today I'm only here today because a quirk in the weather Affected my great grandfather Moritz Farkas He was a gentleman farmer in Hungary And he was doing very well by the way, I've confirmed that with actual records Well one year he didn't insure the crops and I bet you know what happened There was a hail storm and he was wiped out yikes So he picked himself up and he decided to leave Hungary and go to new york city and start over And he did and he brought his wife and then they brought their eight children Now my grandma Hermina was one of those eight children And she was not going to accept an arranged marriage here in America. She said nope She was going to marry the man she met in new york city and fell in love with that's just what she did And if it wasn't for the hail storm in Hungary and her being the woman she was I wouldn't be here today Wow It's it puts it into a certain perspective, doesn't it? A hail storm. Wow just that just that one thing So when did you first discover wiki tree? You know, I was introduced to wiki tree about a year ago by Dorothy Barry She's one of your wonderful wiki treers And she was doing a project. I think she's still doing it to Memorialize a lot of the women who've served in the military over the years And she had posted a profile of my aunt my mother's twin sister Dorothy Schwartz And I saw that And it was very impressive to see what she was doing She inspired me so much that I began adding my own photos And more information about Dorothy Then of course I had to go on and at her twin sister And then I had to go on and it just Went on and on from there slowly, but surely Thank you Dorothy Barry for getting me started on wiki tree and thank you for memorializing my aunt who was a whack Yes, Dorothy is just amazing. She's just we have so many members in the community like that and You know once again wiki tree is free So, you know, we're not just working on our own ancestors We have huge projects that do nothing but take profiles like that and people And try and honor them and they do it out of the goodness of their heart and because they love it. It's their passion Um, I know, you know that it didn't take me long being on wiki tree to learn how fun the wiki tree cousins were and And um, you know get caught up in it and I mean you can go down a rabbit hole Just as easily on somebody's ancestor You don't know as you can on your own and we all do it and I just really really love to see All these people that are still interested in genealogy Now, what do you think you would say to a beginning family historian? I would say what I wish I had done 23 and a half years ago Note where you've been and what you've done and cite your sources specifically So if you ever want to go back which I have done many times You can go back and go exactly to the right place and see why you made that scribbled note Oh, I definitely I definitely agree with that. Um, yes, Emma somebody was in the kitchen But and and you know the longer you go the harder it is too So once again, you know, you come back to those ancestors that you haven't seen and you know, goodness knows how long You haven't taken a look at I mean you go back and it's like you're meeting them all over again You're like, wait, I got to read my notes and hopefully your notes are there To read, you know, and you can go. Oh, that's right This is the one where the church records are missing for those years Or um, you know something else I was excited last week because we have um what we call suggestions there They're not called errors because some of them are not errors, but on lucky tree We have suggestions for all of our profiles and our ancestors and so it may be something like Okay, it wasn't Virginia united states and you know 1710 it really wasn't um, and it tells us to go fix the location You know, but it may also be other hands like oh, I think the father was a little young when that child was born And you know, it gives us a list and it's a good Housekeeping way to go back and look at profiles. We haven't in a while It kind of nudges you and I thought I'm gonna knock a couple of these out while I'm thinking about something and I actually found two Passport files Immigration files for two of my ancestors that had not previously been online I was like wow. I was so excited. I was like, look You know, it's a lot of fun, but yeah The notes I agree are so important because unless you know where you've already looked, you know, and what it is that you're missing It takes up a lot of your time to redo that research Let's see what we're talking about here. Oh, I think they're talking about still some of the young moms um Yeah, chris fairy. I was saying we need to confirm if she was really a hundred And you know, sometimes you just don't know because Um, because um, it's a matter of taking all of the records and looking and evaluating them. So Do we have any other questions from the audience? Lynette, I'm not sure what I'm what you're saying about as far as retyping all of her Is it fine grave stuff before she died or um, something else took out her notes and sources Family group sheets family group sheets. Oh Um Hopefully those are things that you still have or or have replaced because yeah, those are really valuable and I think if we don't have any more questions at this time I know we've got some people that are anxious to go Look at mary Ann's difficult branches And I'm sure that mary is excited to go look at those those new ancestors she has So I'm going to go ahead and we're going to wrap this up. I want to thank all you for watching or you wouldn't be here Thank you. Uh, mary for letting us play in your branches. It really was it was a lot of fun and mary And you know, we're gonna enjoy yours even though we know they're difficult. We love a good challenge. We really do And anybody else if you're watching you can check us out at wiki tree dot com if you want to know more And I think we will end it at that and say good night
