Oops!

I did some 'fishing' to find information on a distant cousin.  I was delighted to find her, her husband and their ten children.  Usually I am meticulous about entering every piece of information I have, but this time I didn't.  Perhaps it was because something/one was trying to tell me I caught the wrong fish!  I found her siblings obituaries and they listed her last name wrong.  Well, according to my fishing, it was wrong.  The first time I thought it was a mistake committed by the newspaper.  The second time I thought, 'Hmmm, maybe she married a second time.' which was possible as her husband died several years before she did.  But, nothing I had listed that second marriage or name.  So, I googled the 'second husband' name.  Lucky for me I found the right fish!  I'm so grateful I didn't take the time to enter every detail on the ten children as they are not a part of my family.  Time to detach the wrong fish from the family and delete them one by one.
