Greetings, John thinks I’m “amazing” because of my six family trees. The truth is it was simply easier for me to organize my time. I originally told him I spent 2 years researching my Purinton family tree. That’s partly true. That included the Goddard and Day family trees. I did quite a lot of the…
July 23, 2020, 10:01 PM John, IV, Thank you, John, I’m loving this!! Jack, however, doesn’t give a hoot about Ancestry but I’m addicted. I spent 2 years on my family tree, the Purintons, Days, and Goddards with some Croteaus and Dearnleys mixed in. There are 3 generations of Humphreys (1st name) with wives named…

Wed 8/5/2020 9:00 AM Jim, What a Family Tree used to be is different from what they are today. Until recently, a family tree was simply a graphical representation of family ancestors based on name, date-of-birth, date-of-marriage, and date-of-death. With the computer tools available today, it is common practice to cite the sources and where…
Fri 8/7/2020 11:26 PM Technology is the part that brings out the craziness in me. I started with the Purinton Tree, added the Goddard Tree, added the Day Tree, combined all three (that’s 4), and started a Purinton Tree, including Cox (5), and for the life of me, I can’t think of #6. That’s not…
