Why I’m Back—and What I’m Writing About Now

It’s been about a year since my last post. Life and other responsibilities pulled me away from the blog for a while, but I’ve still been researching-always researching.

Now that I’m back, I’ve decided to take the blog in a more focused direction. Future posts will highlight individuals in my family tree who are well documented-some I even knew personally-but who are being confused or combined with entirely different people in public trees on Ancestry, MyHeritage, and elsewhere.

Too often, I see people copying details from other trees without checking the original records. Two different people-sometimes living in different counties or born decades apart-end up merged into one. It’s frustrating, and it spreads misinformation quickly.

So this blog will now shine a light on those errors. I’ll share the evidence, walk through the records, and show clearly who’s who-and who’s not.

As you read a blog post, and see it relates to someone in your tree, please contact me for more information and sources. 

Let’s bring the focus back to careful, source-based research. It matters.
