Angell Genealogy by Avery Angell

This is a book written by Avery Angell.  I recently stumbled upon it, and knew it was out there but didn't know where, or what it contained.  The genealogist that assisted my Aunt in writing researching her Angell Genealogy used excerpts from that book.  I find the first few pages of the book very similar to many of today challenges.  This book was written in 1871.  He mentioned that not many people in the family kept really good records, as well as there were some that were not kept at all.  You ask yourself why?  Why not tell your families story.  I think that this boils down to some of the same brick walls we all have today.  Was it a family secret?  Have you ever found that family secret???  Personally I would like to borrow Doc Brown's Delorean and punch in a few dates and view the past.  Wouldn't we all ???

blogging request submitted

So like any blogger you have to get back into the technology community.  I put in a request to be added to http://geneabloggers.com/ and hope they add me.

Some know why I've re-started over again..what's crazy about technology is what it doesn't tell you.  It doesn't say, she is joining multiple user groups like helping organizing your genealogy, technology genealogy, and hoping to recruit her son whom does website building.  Just seems when it comes to organized thoughts and idea's about what I want it's a bit more disorganized.

I try to gather alot of everything, which is not always bad, because after the fire, I found pages that I didn't know I had; I thought they were destroyed.  Ironing the mold, and the scorched pages to make out my great aunts handwriting are things I have and will cherish.

The blog, well I'm doing my best.  Learning to put information out there that is both useful to myself as well as anyone else in line looking for it.

Happy blogging...
