Genealogist's Journal 19 March 2010

This week I have been focusing on my paternal ancestors in Scotland. I am becoming more adpt at finding the Scotland census records at the Scotland's people site. My surname notebooks are in better order.

I have a client who needed help with proving the link to her Rev War ancestor. I am waiting to see if her chapter thinks his service as a selectman in Preston, CT is still good enough to stand with proof. I should be charging for this.

An old friend, who has an interesting lineage has made her first tree at Ancestry. I am helping with the New England line while she works on her Irish and Portuguese ancestors. She's working with a family bible, proving each date and relationship. This is fun. I can't say for sure she has any Native American blood. Everyone is listed as white. I may have to get help with this one.

Weather is too nice today to sit here any longer!
