@scratch go fuck yourself
Thanks for thinking about me, you asshole. And go fuck yourself.
I have become the family genealogist (no @gumby, not gynecologist) over the past few years. That torched was past from one of my relatives who is now pressing 90 years old. He has given me hundreds of years of heritage and for about 5 years now I have been continuing the research. If anyone is interested just do a google search of him (Larry Tart) who was an author of many articles of history. It's amazing how cool it is to receive all of the older photos of everyone along the way. The family members over 80 years of age now have the stories that go with those pics from their early memories. Once they die out the knowledge they have only goes on if we ask them about those experiences.

I had an aunt that traced a lot of family history. When I read it I spotted several mistakes where she must have been just guessing at facts so I do have to kind of question the accuracy of things almost 400 years ago.
@gumby what did that update say about rain mode? I missed it. How do you enable it?
You put on the bread bags

I've learned over the years that getting things correct is not too difficult after 1850 or 60 (this is when census reports listed everyone's household names and ages... at least here in NC). Prior to that you have to do a lot of digging into pre 1850 census records and connect the dots through land transactions, locations, marriage records, family interviews, and handwritten records. Even after doing this for several years now I have to tweak the family tree when new documentation arises. My father was born out of wedlock in 1941 here in NC, and back then it was a taboo subject to talk about. He grew up knowing who his father was but never had anything to do with him. After he passed away, I discovered that he has 5 living half siblings. I have since reconnected with two of them. Such a cool process. None of them had no idea about my father.

I have all the old family photos and records. My great-grandmother on my mother's side was widowed with three daughters to raise. She had to go to work in an orphanage after having to put all three daughters in there. Girls were allowed to leave when they got old enough to get married off. This is a photo of a ledger with their names, they were referred to as "inmates".

I have a few "Lettie" names in my family also. Must've been a southern thing then lol

She traced the family back to 1645 in Scotland but things tend to get kind of sketchy that far back. In Scotland, then to Ireland for a generation or 2 before moving to America in 1761. I saw 2 or 3 variant spellings of family name that can confuse things even further. On the other side of the family someone else traced things back to 1803 when an ancestor moved here from Ireland but the search went cold from there.
