Hi all, I have to work out some sort of system to do these lookups. The SFAA has all the information on the SFAA computer which Bob Sheldon Strong has and he can use search with that, but knowing computers it wants everything exact. Alot of times it takes looking in the books. The Update books are easier but they begin with where Dwight left off. The time period that most of you are lost at and the places where you are lost can cause a real problems Take my line for instance the one the Dwight got was Israel and a birhtdate. No mention of Vermont, wife or children. Thanks to alot of people doing research in Vermont I was able to pick him up there. And alot of that was luck on the maternal side of the family. I have got to finish the four generation, I am up to Mary. In between I have been reading Dwight with the help of an Index of all the 7 books, that Bob Sheldon Strong and Lyle Strong did, but can you imagine in seven books how many Johns and Williams there are. I am beginning to love middle names. Stick with the mailing list because it takes time and at first I didn't write down the email addresses of those that were searching, I just wrote the Ancester. I am now starting a log book. Bob not only does lookups for us but for anyone that sends mail to him so he is kept very busy. We will do our best. Dwight Volumes. Please also realize that Dwight did a wonderful job for the time period but he made some major mistakes. Some children even early on were forgotten, some are misplaced Some wives are wrong, some dates are wrong. The update program corrected alot of these but those we didn't hear from we couldn't correct and it is an ongoing process. Also realize the book was published in 1871, that is the cut off period for Dwight. Dwight also relied alot on family members answering his letters if they didn't he put in what he knew but couldn't go any further. Sometimes it was later generations that answered the letters and if someone moved away they didn't know about them and were left out. Don't get frustrated the answers are there somewhere it just takes alot of time and Alot of patience. In the meantime we will all keep looking. I will let the mailing list know when I find something and of course the person who made the inquiry. I will also post the new information on the Four Generation section of the SFAA page if it is the fifth and sixth generation which it usually is. I will be adding Dwights page number to each line of the four generations and will continue to try and place links for those of you who are double or triple descent. There are alot of those. Martha
