Today I visited a website that has six different, one hour speakings from the RootsTech Conference If you have not watched them, do yourself a favor and watch! Yep I sat through 6 hours, but I was also transcribing marriage records on the Ancestry World Archive Project, so I guess I actually listened for 6 hours. I enjoyed all of them very much and became very excited with all the different things genealogists can look forward to. The Cloud Computing one was little over my head, well, actually a lot over my head, but I still learned.
I use to work with computers, hardware and software, up until Nov 1996. I have not really kept up so I was amazed with all that had happened in the last 15 years. I know so much has happened, but it is so very different. I am still stunned ~laughs~
I hope you will take the time and check out the RootsTech recordings. I am very grateful that they were made available
and all my other family; Berglund, Borden, Botnen, Carlson, Earle, Hurd, Witter, Wells.

McManigle Website UPDATED!!!!!
I am very excited to announce that the McManigle Family Website Really Really works, finally!!!! ~happy dance~
Just last night, I was thinking I was never going to get this up and working correctly. It seems that the problem for why the pictures were not working as they needed to be uploaded in lowercase. I sure don't remember that from five years ago. ~laughs~ But then there is probably a lot I do not remember from five years ago! It took a bit longer than I thought it would, but it is now working. I hope you will stop by and let me know what you think. Thank you for having patience while I worked through this.

The David and Jane McManigle Family Picture
I just realized that I have not posted any information on who the wonderful people are in the main page of this Blog! If I have messed up on the name, I sure hope someone in the family will correct me. I don't my corrections and suggestions, they are good for me ~smiles~
Back row from left to right, 2 standing: Timothy Billings McManigle and David Loman McManigle, Jr.
Middle Row from left to right 6 sitting and standing: Phillip John McManigle is standing at the left end; David Loman McManigle, Sr. is sitting; Jane (Wells) McManigle is sitting and holding my Great Grandmother, Emma Louise McManigle; James Joseph McManigle is sitting next to his mother; Maude McManigle is standing at the end on the right.
Ind the front from left to right, the 3 little guys: Silas S. McManigle, Harry McManigle and Lawrence F. McManigle.
Nancy J. and John A. McManigle had already passed away by the time this was taken in about 1892/1893, as Grandma Emma was born in August 1892. The last three children, Daniel Dennis McManigle, Elise McManigle and Margaret McManigle had not been born yet. Fourteen children, WOW that is a lot!
A copy of this picture (and many others) was given to me from Sheldon McManigle's treasure of pictures. Vivian McManigle Gayther also sent me pictures of this family; as did Bonita Hilmer; Phyllis Jean McManigle Gayther; Pauline Fink and Alice Gayley were some of the very first cousins that help me get started on this search for all McManilge families! So many other cousins help with documenting the other branches from James and Susanna (Baecker) McManigle's children. I will do a Blog on them later
I know I am forgetting more than a few more, I wish I had documented better when I was new at this. Yeah, I was one of those that thought I would never forget my new found cousins and their kindnesses! Twenty years later, and I have forgotten, but I am much better now with my sources and documentation of who sends me what ~laughs~ So at least, lesson learned!

Who is James Billings McManigle??
Just received this email from Cousin Wendy, Subject James Billings McManigle Mystery:
Kristine,
I just ran across this one on the Find A Grave website (findagrave.com)
Click on the "Search 58 million grave records
Then, in Memorial # enter 64556654 and hit "search"
See if you can figure out where he should be linked. I tend to think he would be in the line of David Loman Mcmanigle and Jane Wells. What do you think??

County of Residence: | Perkins |
Post Office: | Lemmon |
I actually have James Blancher McManigle married to Mary Frances Schremb in 1933 in Lemmon, Perkins County, South Dakota. So is this James Billings McManigle or James Blancher McManigle? But according to FindAGrave, in 1926 he married Helen Johnson Helena, Montana.
I also checked GenealogyBank, Archives, Footnote, I found nothing. Ancestry(information above). I still have not located him in the 1930 US Census Records.
At Family Search, I found James and Mary F. (Schremp) McManigle in the 1935 South Dakota State Census:
According to the above, James' father was born in Charles City, Iowa, actually Niles Township, Floyd County, Iowa (very close). James' mother was born in Charles City, actually born in Illinois. Per my records the parents of James Blancher McManigle were, Timothy Billings McManigle and Margaret Oldham.
As James' father was Timothy Billings McManigle, I wonder if, James Blancher McManigle was known as James Billings McManigle in Montana? or are they two different men?
I will need to keep looking into this one. Of course I have sent an email to Cousin Shel and look forward to hearing his ideas on this one. Shel is really the family expert on this Branch of the McManigles. I will also need to pursue this 'mystery' further.

And here's a selection of goodies to play with on this special day.
