2024 November

29 November 2024:- Total 51,169 including living. A few census entries for New Mexico.  Busy time of year.  Lots of queries and work to do, I am lucky really!

 

28 November 2024:- Total 51,166 including living. Mostly sources for existing people in Wisconsin.  Busy building a bay-window display shelf.

26 November 2024:- Total 51,158 including living.  Out shopping in Watford... another day of my life I won't get back!!!  Did a few refurbished sources in Wisconsin and sources for existing people.

25 November 2024:- Total 51,158 including living.  More sources for existing people in Roscommon today.  Busy with some home carpentry... I am really awful at this!

24 November 2024:- Total 51,158 including living.  Sunday Single Back Up.  Mostly sources for existing people in Roscommon today.

23 November 2024:- Total 51,155 including living. I believe I have finally unpicked the tree and have deleted some people by merging and finally uploaded an updated website tree.

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.

18 November 2024:- Total 51,157 including living. Some Missouri census entries... slow day.

17 November 2024:- Total 51,134 including living. Sunday Single Back Up.  A few more Roscommon to USA Dowlings from Find a Grave... almost done with the framework and will try to add sources over the week.

16 November 2024:- Total 51,104 including living.  A few Find a Grave entries but mostly distracted today.

15 November 2024:- Total 51,093 including living.  Roscommon Dowlings on the tail of yesterday's work.  Busy in driving son about and in garden too.

14 November 2024:- Total 51,080 including living.  Finally got things back working and went straight into a good merge so number went down but will up soon.  Busy with all sorts of other things including my son being ill which take priority.

11 November 2024:- Total 51,083 including living.  ORA Online Repository Assistant still not functioning with Ancestry 1950 census.

10 November 2024:- Total 51,083 including living.  Sunday Single Back Up.  Busy with an odd computer failure where programs just would not open.  No big panic as I have lots of back ups but odd and a time consuming.

9 November 2024:- Total 51,083 including living.  Mostly refurbishing sources and adding sources to existing people.

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.

6 November 2024:- Total 51,081 including living.  A few Pennsylvania censuses, lots of hunting amidst some gardening to get the garden ready for winter.

5 November 2024:- Total 51,076 including living.  Reported back to correspondent on the Philadelphia work.  Added another family from Pennsylvania... in passing!  Busy day getting blood test and a long walk.

4 November 2024:- Total 51,056 including living.  Think I have done all I can do on current available documents from here on this Philadelphia Brurein/Dowling line.  If more turns up there is a good set of entries to attach it to.

3 November 2024:- Total 51,052 including living. Sunday Single Back Up.  More hunting in Pennsylvania but finding few good facts to tie records of possible candidates together.

2 November 2024:- Total 51,051 including living.  Tidying up in Philadelphia... it appears the mystery is that the Dowling was adopted.

1 November 2024:- Total 51,045 including living. Monthly Double Back Up. Pretty much resolved the correspondent's Dowling mystery in Philadelphia... reporting back tomorrow.

31 October 2024:- Total 51,014 including living.  Still on the trail of a mystery Dowling in Philadelphia... and no closer.
