We had a really good genealogy round table session on Saturday. There were five or six of us in the library and the discussion was all about software, numbering systems, writing the family history narrative, and filing papers either paper files or digital. I've been busy doing my family genealogy this past week. I've sorted through papers and examined family relationships. Trying to put the families together correctly is not easy. Family traditions are not always correct and it is often difficult to put those stories aside to see other possibilities.
A new Kirksey researcher contacted me on this site. It has been ages since someone new has reached out with questions. Some of the questions had easy answers but who Mary Alice Kirksey is and who her parents are is not going to be as easy.
