Hello and welcome back to my family history blog! It was DNA day on April 25, and the day I started this blog!!! So happy DNA day!!! March and April have been the most exciting month in exploring my mtDNA full sequence results via ftdna (Family Tree DNA), and RootsTech to start it off on March 2, as my results came in the same day that RootsTech started! I really didn’t know what to do after getting the reaults and then most recently I was introduced to My True Ancestry.

A Successful Day of Source Indexing
I recently had a successful day of source indexing and was able to put my 9th great grandfather’s timeline together, along with a good amount of sources to end the day with, making his life story come alive before my eyes. I thought I would share what I found and pieced together on my family tree.

I recently started wondering if it is important or not to have all of my family tree public or if I should password protect a certain sections for family only. If I have it public, and it’s only unorganized screenshots, vital records and new findings I’m currently investigating, it makes my blog everywhere and all over, so I made a seperate link for that section, and, so I decided to privatize them for those that are family, extended family, and distant cousins that are also working on the same family tree so we can compare.

I recently discovered that Family Search has Advanced Strategies for Searching Historical Records, even though I’ve been using Family Search for years I’m still learning. What they did was add a huge database to expand the search and amount of content that can be added for source indexing, which is great.
Welcome to my family history blog! If your new here, feel free to explore. Please take note that, even though I have over 30 yrs experience as a family historian, I am not a professional genealogist with years of experience, but now a newby genealogist with years of experience being a family historian.

My ancestors were one of the most powerful noble families in Northern England and for much of the Middle Ages, known for their long rivalry with another powerful northern English family, the House of Neville, which I am also descendant of.
