8. Sent you an invite to my public tree

Jul 2013

My active research tree is private, but I sent you an invitation to the public one.

I'm not working on that branch right now. It's on my Mom's side and I stopped the active work on it last year.

My Mom researched her side in the 50s and 60s and my oldest sister did more in the 70s and 80s. My father's mother researched her lineage a hundred years ago (literally - she joined DAR in 1913).

What I've been working on in the last several years is going through all the branches to see what I can easily find online and to download documents. For instance, Grandmother never bothered with census - she knew exactly where her ancestors lived until before the Revolution. Mom only had access to census index books.

I completed that on Mom's side and now I'm working on Dad's. Since his mother and his great-grandfather did research at least to the Revolution and for some lines back to when they arrived in America, that side is much more extensive and is taking longer. Plus there are some things that she thought were true that I can't document and some that are just plain wrong, so I'm trying to clean those up.
