[quote:~Jazzy~:MV8yMzkxMDE5XzYzNTQwODQzX0MzNjI0MDI2] [quote:Isis One:MV8yMzkxMDE5XzYzNTQwNTkwX0U3MURGQzgy] [quote:~Jazzy~:MV8yMzkxMDE5XzYzNTQwMzI0XzcwOTlERTI=] [quote:Isis One:MV8yMzkxMDE5XzYzNTM5NTI3XzU1QTUyMzcw] [quote:~Jazzy~:MV8yMzkxMDE5XzYzNTMxMzgzXzY5MUU1QkJF] Been doing some more genealogy today on some of the more ancient ones, now that the info is easier to find. Found out that my gg+++ grandfather was born in 1540 Papplewick, England and he was a gamekeeper in Sherwood Forest for both Queen Elizabeth I and King James I until his death in Yorshire in 1612. His 3 sons were all part of Cromwells' Army which was sent to Ireland to put down the Catholics. At the end of the campaign, all 3 were awarded land confiscated from the Catholics in lieu of pay and remained there for the next 3 generations. 3 gg grandsons (cousins) of those 3 sons migrated to America together and here I am. [/quote] Very cool, why is the info easier to find now. I get frustrated and stuck at barely finding my grandparents. Several hundred spent on the genealogy sites. [/quote] Alot of the info is uploaded to the net now. Gravesite info. Census rolls. Ships manifests. It takes years of digging and sorting, but it's slowly becoming easier to find. Back when I started this, in order to get a ships manifest, you actually had to go to Annapolis and look through boxes and boxes of dusty records. And that was if you could even gain access to them. There are groups now that are combing the back woods and mountains for the old family grave plots and marking them out. Family bible records and diaries are being uploaded. Little by little, it's all coming to the masses. [/quote] That's really cool!!! I get working on it here and there, I'll guess I'll keep it up. Totally bummed I didn't get more info from the grandparents while they were alive. [/quote] That's where I was lucky. Both sets of my grandparents would tell us stories of the old ways and days. I think it was more to keep themselves young than to teach us about our family..lol. And they were big on writing everything in the family bibles. And I mean everything...right down to selling off or buying livestock or land and for how much. [/quote]
Original Message
I accidentally deleted the OP of this thread during some glitch issues on GLP this morning (10/30/17).
I will be posting some useful links in the next post to make it easier for those posting so you don't have to scroll through a massive OP. :)
I had to delete the first two comments on this thread to do so, but wanted to keep them so I've put them below.
5* and I'm on board.. Simple.. I'm sorry about CH.. He will be missed greatly..

I also would like to mention that I know this thread has MANY pages and that it can be somewhat intimidating to join/chime in on a long standing thread as a new member/AC (I've experienced it when I first joined GLP), but we are a VERY welcoming group to those who newly join us. We are a small family of sorts who are all mostly interested in the same earth-related topics (quakes/solar/volcanoes/weather/etc.) and share info on each of those topics as well as 'off-topic' discussions. We genuinely care for one another here and even when we do not agree with each other, we ALWAYS respect each other.
I truly enjoy when new folks join us here. All that I ask is to show respect. :)
