Cleaning day and it is the main floor

 My cleaning days continue and it is the main floor today and I shall begin shortly. 

The find yesterday of the baptism of Richard Pinkham was really excellent. My first thought was to share it with Galen Pinkham but I did  not know that he had passed away (in the December issue of the Newsletter I will remember Galen and all his work). I looked back at our shared emails over the last eighteen years and had asked him if he would like to come back and share the study a while ago now but I understood why he did not want to do that. He had done that work for quite a few years with Dr Richard Pinkham a Gloucestershire physician (England) and was busy with other items. Their work still very valuable although I have disagreed with some of the dating here and there but it captured a generation's thoughts on the family which is really important and not available for all families. That was why I published them in the Pincombe-Pinkham Newsletters although I did express that I did not always agree with them. But data is becoming more and more available and will  help with that search backwards into time to locate our ancient ancestors. 

Now I must get some cleaning done but will continue with my work on the first eighty years of records on Find My Past later today and add anything in to the blog as I move along with that project.
