My musings for today...
I have a huge list of things to do around here. Instead of completing anything on the list, I am documenting information on George Bush's line. Why? Because supposedly he is a distant cousin to my husband and I don't want to work on the list of things to do.
I always get very interested in a family line that appears in a location where I have found a concentration of other family lines. I just know I will find someone who will connect one or more lines...and I have in the past. This time the family line is traveling through Columbus, Ohio. Hmmm...we'll see what I find!
Aren't names interesting? Silence. Why would you name a child Silence?
Oh heck, I just discovered I have Samuel Kinsley and Mary Washburn twice. The second Samuel is the son of the first Samuel and is also married to Mary Washburn. I think I've made a mistake.
I have found servants listed with families on the census before, but today, well, today I found them listed in their roles. Butler, laundress, kitchen main, cook, ladies maid, chauffeur....wow.
I will use data someone else has posted as clues and then work to document it. I just discovered a line going back to the 1300s in England that is a direct line for my husband. I'm logging it and thinking about a trip to England to prove it. It goes back to his 18th great grandfather. This is exciting, but I will get more excited when I find proof of some kind.
