2025 February

28 February 2025:- Total 51,689 including living.  More work on the framework below... found a few relative entries but by no means enough English baptisms to cover the family... it seems like a whole parish is missing over the 1700's.  Oh well, onwards and upwards.

27 February 2025:- Total 51,673 including living. An Australian 'framework' added following correspondence.  It attaches to a tree that has been in the 'system' for many years where I have been unable to find very many of the relevant sources in Somerset.  I looked years ago and had another fruitless scan today.

26 February 2025:- Total 51,650 including living. Added one sheet of Dowling World War 1 British navy deaths.

25 February 2025:- Total 51,639 including living.  Sources for existing people today.  For some reason I am very busy with other things... and I am not sure I am getting much done.

22 February 2025:- Total 51,631 including living.  Lots of unravelling a complex family today... very satisfying when one gets the confidence to untangle multiple marriages.

21 February 2025:- Total 51,617 including living.  Mostly sources for existing people.

20 February 2025:- Total 51,615 including living.  Mostly hunting for an individual and not finding.

18 February 2025:- Total 51,615 including living.  Following a Kent family in Detling back to early 1700s but a little inconclusive after that.

17 February 2025:- Total 51,607 including living.  Busy hunting and not finding... that's the way it goes.  Still, even a negative is progress of sorts in family history.

15 February 2025:- Total 51,597 including living. Still in Kent on my nephew's non-Dowling line.  Every day of research throws up something interesting, today reading-up on the Spanish Revolution in the 30's.

14 February 2025:- Total 51,587 including living.  Mostly sources for existing Kent people.  Come across some interesting puzzles but will persevere... learning never stops.

13 February 2025:- Total 51,582 including living.  Some more Kent work on non-Dowlings connected to the family.

12 February 2025:- Total 51,577 including living. A Kent census entry added.  Busy with other things plus spending a lot of time looking  for a marriage that doesn't seem to exist.

11 February 2025:- Total 51,570 including living.  Improving some old photos and uploading those.  Preparing a family tree report for my nephew.

10 February 2025:- Total 51,570 including living.  Mostly adding sources to existing people today.

9 February 2025:- Total 51,570 including living.  Sunday Single Back Up.  Found a Dublin marriage I hadn't years ago on an Ardateggle family.  A little tidying-up.

8 February 2025:- Total 51,569 including living.  Busy with other things and not too well.  Did some tinkering but nothing significant.  Found another entry source in need of refurbishment and have started on that.

4 February 2025:- Total 51,565 including living. Mostly trying to sort out a Joseph Dowling who has children in the 1920s but no marriage to be found... I feel I am missing something obvious.

3 February 2025:- Total 51,562 including living.  Some births, marriages and deaths from Laois today mostly picking up the newly released BMD's from the civil registers.  A lot of sources for existing people too.

2 February 2025:- Total 51,548 including living. Monthly Double Back Up.  A Liverpool entry and a review if recent births, marriages and deaths on the Irish records site... some have come online without images of the entries so are no more than index entries.

30 January 2025:- Total 51,537 including living.  Hunting some Hugh Dowlings in Liverpool to attach to the USA... A likely candidate but missing a crucial piece of information so cannot join as yet.  Will put them separately into the system tomorrow.
