Thank you so much for the help Jessica.I am sending you a link to my website where I have uploaded a GEDCOM file.I have some pictures I will be uploading soon but none of my grandfather. My decendants seem to come from Virginia.I know my grandfather married Ruby Bell Priest from Cherokee County Georgia.I normally use ancestry.com and have a site there with a lot of tree pics. If you like I can send you an invite to your email. I have 9,800 plus so far in my tree. I have a lot of record sorting to do but have a good base. Again thank you so much.

Wow! Sounds like you have done lots of work! That's amazing! That's oodles of names-- I am still linking and sifting, I have the curse of repeating names-- so much so that I am still pulling apart my cousin, my uncle, my Grandfather, my Greatgrandfather, and HIS grandfather! (face palm)

I have learned when that did that in my family, often they would then create a name to use-- one I find in records-- but not listing them as children nor showing up on death certificates.

An great, great uncle with a given name of 'Thomas Joseph' but beyond the age of 6, he falls off census reports. There are 17 children, maybe he died..? Lots passed young, right? Sure there is another son who's birth year might overlap his, but when were are talking about farmers with children less than a year apart and a known history of twins-- I had to throw my head back and laugh when I was told. "Ohhh, yeah, that was Uncle White"... Why? Because his hair was so sun bleached, it looked white as a child. It stuck.

I can't imagine almost 10,000! I wouldn't know what to do with myself. I believe I am under 300, still filling in lots of detail, finding out how wrong my notes are and how many little details are just slightly off, and the perfectionist in me is sitting in the corner, rocking, braiding my hair! You know what I mean? LOL! :D

I have gotten some information from ancestry, but I am absolutely devoted to familysearch.org and findagrave.com. They have been the most helpful so far.

Sometimes, I cannot find what I am looking for because either the record itself is flawed-- so much terrible handwriting, I don't know what to do with myself-- or names change like Uncle White's-- Or repeat. My goodness!

I hope you are having as much fun with this as I am! It sounds like you are! Some of mine started in Virginia, too. But my went to SC then TN, KY, --IL, MI, TX, CA, NY!

I am so glad this stuff is available online! It makes it so much easier to get to it, rather than having to hunt out microfilm in libraries and funeral home records!
