I have done that for a few of my line or my husband's line, his family was harder for me, as no one knew some of the names of relatives from not that far back, his mother died when he was a teen, and his grandparents. Most of my family lines, save a few I have back to at least the 1700's here in the US. It may not help as it may not say his mother's name if the informant that gave the info for it did not know. That gets frustrating, I sometimes wonder how would you not know your grandmother's name, no one ever talked about it? But if they died 40 years ago I guess it would be so. I was a lucky granddaughter, we were the only ones that lived near my grandparents when I was young, I used to spend time out on the farm with them. My grandfather Marion liked to sit outside and shoot moles making their hills he was a trapshooter, (nowadays, you would get the cops out there) and somedays he came inside and played his fiddle all afternoon. I only had one song that was taped that he did. Now I wish we had made tapes of all of them. My grandmother was really something, she worked so hard in her life. She cooked and baked, worked in their large garden, sewed and crotcheted, took care of chickens. Gina Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
