A record is anything we find about our ancestors, whether it's a census, a vital record, an immigration record or a draft registration. <br />Wish me luck in completing my list. Staying on track is always a challenge. <br />Thanks so much for stopping by.

The hunt and find is kinda what we all live for. Then, the work begins in recording and sourcing what we've found. Want to know the truth? The day after I posted I was contacted by a possible cousin connection based on my posts from my grandmother's journal. Remember me saying I would tell the cousin I would get back to them in a couple of weeks? Well, so much for that. She and I have exchanged emails and talked on the phone. My plan is still my plan, but as usual, there will be detours. Good luck with your research and thank you for stopping by.

It is so easy for us amateurs to presume that the experts and gurus always have it all together all the time. It is reassuring to know that even the experts are not always perfect. And it is encouraging to read your ideas for getting back on track.<br />Mary Foxworthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10920635118761855399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211578983663662204.post-91418339339708659952015-04-19T20:29:26.499-07:002015-04-19T20:29:26.499-07:00This is a great self-critical list.

Additionally under Followers you will see two ways to follow. Either by "Joining this Site" or by "adding me to your Google Circles." I also post all my articles on Twitter and on Pinterest. Those two options are also in the right hand column. I hope you will find one of those many selections convenient. <br />Thank you for stopping by.

Am I a collector or a hoarder of records, or am I a genealogist? I hope it's the latter and I intend to truly fix some of these issues. I do think it will lead to some breakthroughs and finds and it will certainly make me feel better. I consider myself a good researcher, but what is my purpose in going to these repositories, if not to find and then work with the records I've located? I look forward to reading your post.
