Wow, Kathryn, such a history! I'll watch it later but I'm just in awe that all this family info is already laid out for you.
I wonder if I just scared off an Ancestry match? She's likely a 1C1R, 1C2R or 2C and I don't recognize her. She's on my mother's side, where I know of a 1C1R baby that was adopted out. So I asked straight out if she was adopted. Found a person by that name on Facebook who lives in this area, but she indicates she got married in 1969 and I think would be too old for the cousin I'm thinking of. Oh, also found her marriage record so I know what her maiden name was. We'll see if she responds further. (I'm actually pretty good at this stuff...)
Cathy, I agree with you about not helping the friend. It sounds like she really doesn't understand the urgency of what you're trying to do.
Helia, yes, if I were going somewhere far far away, I'd prefer a longer trip. You would spend the first and last 24 hours getting there and getting home.
Bw2, I totally know what you mean:
He needs hobbies
I'd be crazy if he were around the house underfoot all the time.
LM, you are organized as usual. You really seem to have it together and you are juggling a lot of different hats these days.
RR, have been seeing your photos on Facebook, too. Beautiful!

So much genealogy to work on! I have been trying to attach my third great grandfather born 1798 to a father. I'm working under the hypothesis that he is identified in the booklet from the state library as the "William III" with no other info. In that case his father is William born 1776 in VA, and his father is William born 1742 in VA. Both the older Williams migrated south to a specific TN county, so it's a bear trying to separate the three of them. The eldest moved south again before dying in 1831 apparently, and I don't know when the middle guy died at all.
