2026 June

30 June 2016:- Total 55,972 including living.  Just two census entries and lots of gardening.

25 June 2026:- Total 55,972 including living.  Some more censuses and more looking and not finding... some people just 'fall off the grid!'

24 June 2026:- Total 55,972 including living. Added one census in Minnesota with a lot of hunting and not finding for the Irish origin.  Hard to work today on anything with 38c temperatures in a Red Heat Warning across most of the country!  Very uncomfortable extremes in weather around now in Europe, Americans are so lucky their president says it is a hoax there!

20 June 2026:- Total 55,965 including living.  More from Minnesota with sources for existing people, and some framework entries for connected but non-Dowling families (lest I end up documenting everyone on the planet in full).

19 June 2026:- Total 55,949 including living. More from Minnesota.  Busy day and so,  so hot.

18 June 2026:- Total 55,939 including living.  A couple of censuses and some baptisms... This Minnesota family was an elimination line, which often turn out as 'rabbit holes' that have a lot of work to crawl out of to get back to the original line being studied!

17 June 2026:- Total 55,929 including living. Some Dowlings from Washington, Minnesota and some Find a Grave entries.

16 June 2026:- Total 55,907 including living. Just one Minnesota census today... I don't know where the day went!

15 June 2026:- Total 55,903 including living. Some Canada and US censuses to support Find a Grave entries... had a lucky break with a Minnesota record coming up trumps to complete the census cycle for a family.

14 June 2026:- Total 55,892 including living. Sunday Triple Back Up.  No genealogy today as I opened my rather average garden to the public for charity... the visitors we had appeared to love it.  Lot of work though and now need a rest!

13 June 2026:- Total 55,892 including living. A few sources for existing people, including Nebraska.

12 June 2026:- Total 55,882 including living. Some US Find a Grave entries for Nevada... oh and even more gardening; it's nice to open the garden to visitors but I am under pressure cramming jobs into this weekend I would spread out over the next month.

11 June 2026:- Total 55,862 including living.  More gardening pending opening my garden to the public on Sunday for charity... A military record with lots of images for Lancashire Dowling.

10 June 2026:- Total 55,860 including living.  More gardening pending opening my garden to the public on Sunday for charity... A few Liverpool censuses.

7 June 2026:- Total 55,846 including living. Sunday Triple Back  Up.  Looked for a McGrath-Dowling connection in Lancashire, UK re correspondence.

6 June 2026:- Total 55,830 including living. Some Kildare parish records as I crawl out of the rabbit hole I have been in for a week back to correspondence.

5 June 2026:- Total 55,821 including living. A few Missouri relatives, a little time looking and not finding and finally sorted out program update challenge around the size reduction of images.  Also a nice day so in the garden mostly.

4 June 2026:- Total 55,813 including living. A large merge of people as I found sufficient grounds to say several people were duplicates.  This reduces the numbers but is a very good thing as it improves accuracy but can be tricky.  A few sources for existing people.

3 June 2026:- Total 55,821 including living. More Liverpool entries... must return to correspondence.

2 June 2026:- Total 55,805 including living. A few more added in Liverpool and, while doing so, found an American actor already in the study staying temporarily in Liverpool at the time.  Also a technical update creating some kind of website map for search engines? maybe... I always distrust updates as they always seem to mess things up and I am not sure what functionality this gives as a benefit for all the fiddling around I am having to do!

1 June 2026:- Total 55,798 including living. A few elimination records added taken in passing on the this Liverpool family.  Garden again today.
