With New Family Search being phased out and Family Search
Family Tree being phased in, I decided to try my hand at looking at my
ancestral records in Family Tree and see if I could find anything that needed
to be corrected.
One of the things that I noted right away was the marriage
date of Solomon Gee to Deborah Huntley.
Someone had put the date 0808 as the marriage date. Later there was a dispute on this record
mentioning the date 0808 a being impossible since the real date was 1732 and
Solomon was born in England in 1698.
Using the edit features of Family Tree, I was able to remove
the erroneous marriage date and now it is correct. I was also able to remove an unknown spouse that was connected to
my great grandfather’s brother.
Since many of my relatives do not have a watch on their
ancestors and relatives in New Family Search or Family Search Family Tree, I
have decided to document the changes that I make here on my blog.
Thus this may become a journal of corrections to Family Tree.
Laurence, I am so frustrated with how they keep changing things! I'm having some success right now in newfamilysearch. And, now, it's all changing. Ah, technology....you just keep on moving forward and I just want to stay with the familiar. (BTW, I am still using PAF and love it.)
