I cannot believe how the last 12 months has flown. It’s taken a year but I’ve finally updated the tree on my blog (find it here).
The update is substantial (approximately 45% more people and 71% more families!) and corrects some previous errors.
This update will be rolled out to Genes Reunited, Ancestral Atlas and Ancestry in due course.
The tree pages are currently undergoing an update, so please do not fret if something is inaccessible of looks wrong!
Whilst searching RootsWeb today (another valuable resource), I came across a page which suggested I had made another mistake on an ancestor’s surname.
I had my gt(x3)-grandmother as Ann MEASBY, but the new source suggested it was MEASDY (or MEASDAY). I rechecked her marriage certificate (which I have), and sure enough, I had misread the (poor) handwriting for the father’s (sur)name. Double-checking the witnesses confirmed them as Sarah MEASDY and Charles MEASDY, not the former MEASBY.
Never assume you’re wrong, but never believe only you could be right … I was fortunate enough to have the certificate to double-check and confirm the new source information.
I will update the tree accordingly soon.
