As I document my family history (and my husband's), I have made some wonderful discoveries. Questions were answered and more were created.

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.
