As of today my database of connected Breedlove families including spouses totals 10,000, and I still have one database of 200 to check before I add it to the good line. My problem comes from wanting to publish all of this but the sheer size of the database presents some sizable, and I do mean that literally, problems. In register form at maybe 25 names, dates and places per page, that would mean 400 pages plus another 100 pages for the index. With notes and references that number would grow by at least another 250 pages, so I'm looking at 750 pages. Perhaps I can put the notes in a separate book but that could get confusing looking back and forth between two books. Perhaps I can make two books, one for Thomas & Sarah Broaddus, and the other for James and all of the other children. I am looking for suggestions here. I have investigated several free and pay web sites to publish it all on but the size of the database would warrant about 14 Meg of memory, more than the free ones allow and too costly at the pay sites. My ISP doesn't even have web space for subscribers but what can you expect for only $100 lifetime access. I don't expect any publishing plans to be cast in stone for quite a while as I am still investigating options and am open to suggestions. Rest assured any information that has or will be sent me will be scrubbed before publishing to remove all dates and possibly places for any living descendants, unless I get specific permission. To be as thorough as I can, I may also include some of the lines that have not been proven, as I have several books on my New England families that include a section on Unconnected Lines. As luck would have it, some of my ancestry was in these unconnected parts but the information on the proven lines in the front of the book lead me to data that enabled me to make the connection. I am attaching my list of unconnected Breedlove families, with my opinion as to where some of them may connect. New data and sources are being found every day so to those of you descended from one of these unconnected lines, please continue the search. The 200 name Gedcom for the database I mentioned above I got this week came from a totally new source. It is the line of one daughter of Thomas Murrell and Elizabeth Breedlove, the only daughter of William and Mary Watts Breedlove that I knew nothing about except her marriage. I have searched for 30 years for data on her family and all I could find was a census listing, but this new source showed the parents died and left the one orphan daughter with a sister in law to raise. Having found this new line I still have one more line for William & Mary Watts to trace. Perrin's History of Kentucky says they had 13 children, but to date only 12 are known so there is one more out there somewhere. Hope everyone had an enjoyable Holiday Season and are ready to get back to their research. Mine was most tiring with all of my folks and siblings and their kids here for Christmas. Had to spend most of my time rebuilding computers for 3 of my nephews and nieces and then a new one from parts for my brother, so I didn't get to spend a lot of time visiting with my folks. Wish I had so I would know where everything went to around here. Seems as how my sisters rearranged my refrigerator, pantry, dishes, pots and pans, etc, and I'm still trying to find where they put everything.
