Yesterday I worked on the My Heritage matches and found a super one with a 3rd c 1xr and large. Always nice. There are actually several of them in the set I recorded for My Heritage. So many of my Blake cousins remain in England for the most part. My American cousins that are Blake tend to be from the deep distant past and the matches are very tiny. Since my lines are so separated though with my Canadian born ancestors all known to me (there are only three, my mother (b 1916), her father (b 1872) and his mother (b 1839)) the chance of another match is much smaller. My Pincombe cousins on the other hand are fairly known to me as we share great grandparents and 2x great grandparents. My mother liked to talk about her Pincombe cousins so the names come back when I see them. I am at best an irregular correspondent and they are busy as well.
The matches on My Heritage have been very very interesting. Nothing really new or affected by these new matches but they did extend or verify which is always a gift. I have so many thousands of matches but I only know a small number in actual fact. Anything below 25 cM on My Heritage I do not really look at these matches. Thus far I have collected 35 new matches to enter into my database setups. I still have to finish the Ancestry table I built. I did manage to finish my brother Doug and will do John and my sister today likely. It is the family trees that are very attractive in ancestry but also the matches in common as I have colour coded right back to my great grandparents and the occasional further back just because of the endogamy in the Routledge, Knight and Blake families. I will likely use Ancestry Pro when I am proofreading the Genealogical Tables as my colour coding of the matches in common is very helpful and looking into some of these will be beneficial.
Today the main floor and it is day two. Hopefully I will complete the cleaning in the morning which gives me the afternoon to do some work. I want to finish the Ancestry matches and then move to the list I made for FT DNA to pull those matches. I will be complete then and can move back to the wills and my latin and mix it up with my genealogical table. I am still considering starting a new Legacy file for this rather than type it all in myself. That way I can add in the wills and all the other information and have it all in that file. I generally do it that way and Version 10 is excellent.
Drinking my tea and solitaire puzzles to do.
