So my Dearies I has been another week so another update. I have more to write about this week. Yesterday I was able to talk with my genealogy geek of a grandmother and put down all the information that I had gathered from talking with my Aunt Heidi who gave me some information that she knew off the top of her head (which was not a lot XD ) but it was a start and was more than I knew. I was able to find a few documents like my Grandpa William's Birth Certificate, and a few census records that had my Great Grandparents. I also found their plot number, which I already knew in what cemetery they were and where in that cemetery but now I have it in writing for records and not to be lost in the recesses of my forgetful mind. I was not able to find my paternal grandmother Sheila in any record, though who I did not get a lot of information on in the first place. That will be on my list of things to ask about the next time I talk to a family member.
While I was talking to my Grandma Nina (the Genealogy Geek) she was all about dates, the more the better. Birth dates, death dates, marriage dates, divorce dates, And then she kept saying and where did all these things happen. The more information you have on them the better and the more sure that the information you get is correct. If your not careful then you could accidently find someone who is not who you are looking for so remember, Information! Information! Information!
So my updated pedigree is this
