8th April

Today we were 6 once more
Mary was struggling to locate a marriage in 1872 for two ancestors. They are proving most elusive!
Eileen is now using FindMyPast and researching the excellent newspaper feature. She found a report of her parents’ wedding.
JD Worked on the life story of his great grandfather, turning the lifeline into a connected story. This requires research into the background events in the area which might have affected him.
So far, he has managed to complete it up to his 20th birthday as there is so much material to use. But: less is more as they say! There is a long way to go to his death at 66…
Dora has purchased Family Tree Maker 2019 and is thinking of dropping FindMyPast. She wants to copy over her tree from Ancestry by Gedcom,
but I suggested she should be able to synchronise the whole file more easily as these two have this feature available.
Linda found a link to her paternal great grandmother, which set her on a trail to connect with members of her extended family she has not heard from for 50 + years.

We meet again on May the 13th
