This was a fun week of finding our own "stuff" at the library.
Warren was putting books away and saw some probate abstracts that were information from the area his line is from. So, he thought he would just look through them. Well, he had an exciting time extending his family two generations with lots of family members.
Me, I am just trying to straighten things out on New Family Search. On one family (I actually have more than one family that has this problem), I have a person who is on as a brother and a husband. I have spent the whole time I have been here looking for birth certificates, marriage certificates, and death certificates that would prove he was just a husband.
Well, I finally looked at the census records on the right year and the right place and found them. I had looked at the 1840 census, but that doesn't show names of people in the house, just the name of the head of the household. I think I did find them there, but I can't prove it was them without names. The census I finally saw was the 1860 census which shows all the names of the people in the household - BINGO. I knew all the names and now I am able to prove the relationship.
Now I can give this proof to the New Family Search people and they can take him off the family as a brother and leave him as a husband. It was so fun!!!!!
