As I document my family history (and my husband's), I have made some wonderful discoveries. Questions were answered and more were created. This blog contains my (printable...lol) thoughts while researching. If you want to add a comment, please do so. You can contact me via the contact form at the bottom of the page.

Sometimes it pays to enter a little extra
I really think I must be related to over 1/2 of Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. The other day I entered information on a Schlosser family. This is NOT a direct line of mine, but I have several in my database. Because of having so many, I went ahead and entered parents of the Schlosser...who didn't match any in the database. I discovered the next generation of parents' names and enter them. Still no matches. Found another generation...they were in the database. Related. So the Schlosser marrying into the family was/is actually another cousin. Distant cousin marrying a distant cousin. I did not check to see if they were distant cousins of each other. There is a possibility of that.
