Cousins by the dozens

Cousins by the dozens

I recently have been working on Lysander Gee's descendents from my database of 5000+ individuals and have found a number of individuals who need ordinance work done. One of them was the ancestor of my third cousin once removed on my father's side who is married to my first cousin on my mother's side, so I did some searching and found a number of ordinances that needed to be done. 

I then went to my fathers side and found Elmo Cunningham Gee who was married to three wives and placed sources on his record and his wife's record. I was able to do this with my iPad while I was watching a ballgame during the halftime and timeouts. I was able to accomplish this while still watching the ball game. I also placed sources on Lillian Lucy Christiansen and Gladwyn Marie Mickelson's records.

I reserved some ordinance work and emailed my third cousin once removed and ask her if she would be interested in doing the ordinance work for those people, because they were in her direct ancestral line, not mine. She responded that she would be interested and that they were going to the temple this next month, so I sent her, by email, the family ordinance requests that I had reserved and now she has them in her possession and can have the ordinance work done. 

I will not document here the names of everyone that I found.  I will have to be more careful in documenting them in the future, but they will be noted in Family Tree with my name as the author on the sources and ordinance reservations.
