Today I added sources to grandfather Gee’s brother John
Ether Gee KW8T-LDR. He was always known
in our family as uncle Ether. I found two census records one in Tooele and the
other in Idaho. He also had a draft registration card on line so I included
that. Family Tree did not have a place of death. I found him in the California Death index, so I added that as a
source and placed the information in his vital information. I had the information in my database, but now I had a primary source to back it up. I also added a link to his grave marker in
Ashton Cemetery. I also wanted to give
a link to a photo of uncle Ether. I
found one in a family photo of Erastus Rowe Gee and his family on my brother
Martell. I did not look in the 1940
census, but I assume that he is there
as well.
I undertook this exercise to show how different sources
could be added to a record. It will be
helpful to those in the family history class in our ward.
Your ward is so lucky to have you as their teacher....You really show them how to do things and get organized and be accurate. Hooray for you!
