22 November 2024:- Total 51,156 including living. Have not uploaded an updated website tree as some of my 'z markers' are still showing. I put "zzz" in front of names as a temporary way of making people I am looking at merging stand out in the index by forcing them to the bottom of a list.
20 November 2024:- Total 51,157 including living. Still sorting out Find a Graves on a confused tree.
19 November 2024:- Total 51,157 including living. Some Find a Graves for existing people... There are some discrepancies in my tree, I think, caused by the old Ancestry World Tree confusing two Timothy Dowlings. Hmm this will take some sorting.

7 November 2024:- Total 51,083 including living. Deliberating over merging one William J with a William E Dowling... everything, the family, ages, location etc. lines up but not that middle-name initial. In the end I didn't as the initials are so clear but there are no other suitable candidates for the census years. Had medical tests today and lots of walking. One refurbished source in Missouri.
