Oops! Not My Family!

I spent three hours today entering and documenting a family that doesn't belong to me.  Why?  Because I wasn't careful.

My Lehigh County, Pennsylvania family is huge.  (Or as Trump would say....bigly!)  All of my branches intertwine with each other so I make it a habit to enter family information for spouses marrying into the family.  I also will go back a generation or two on familiar names as a lot of the times I will find a connection. 

This morning I worked on one of the generations added previously thinking I was documenting family.  While it is frustrating, I may be very happy some day in the future when I find a connection.   I never know!
