Hello All, Have started work on the Mick page, the extensive information that alberta Calendar sent me is a lot to go got thru, as i do I will be adding the information on to the page. May take a bit of doing but I will eventually get it down. Judy
Judy, May I suggest that, where possible, you show your information sources, at least for major inputs. Without this information, all your work might either be regarded as gospel or alternatively as pretty but of limited value. Experienced genealogists know that they should always get as close to the source as possible, but hasty viewers may be tempted to take things at face value. Knowing at least who supplied your material may give some level of comfort (or perhaps otherwise).

I would like to support Ken McDonald's request that we all make our sources as clear as possible. While it is, at times, good to be brief, the full information must be close at hand. In regard to the long fertility of our ancestors: My g-g-grandfather,Tobias Fizzell, b.1798, Court Matrix, had at least 4 children in Ireland before moving to Canada in the 1840s. He then remarried and had 12 more, the last, George, being born when Tobias was 68 years old. George's grandson, also George, is the same generation as my father, being my 2nd cousin once removed, but is about 15 years younger than I! Tobias' first son, William, was 41 years old and had five children by the time his last half brother was born. He was a grandfather soon after George's birth. (See records of the Church of Ireland, County Limerick, various Canadian and U.S. census data.) Bob Fizzell -- 65 years old and not interested in having any more children!
