I read alot of Blogs today, Dick Eastman's Blog announced a new 'Genealogy' search engine! Mocavo Genealogy Search. There were many comments in many of the Blogs today, some were not too nice! Some were though!
Why was I so busy today . . . I became lost in the Macavo Search for McManigle (on the first page of results!). Found old message boards, many I had forgotten about. Even one for the Morrow/Satterlee families that I had totally forgotten. I went into Legacy to see what I had on them . . . oh oh nothing! Took me a few minutes, but I figured out that perhaps it was saved in the backup of the McManigle Family website, last backup of 2006. (I was smart enough to saved a copy of all the pages, and I even remembered where I saved them to). Sure enough the information was there, but almost all of it had no sources. That information must have been found before I started keeping better sources. I did find a source for the Satterlee family that pointed to William James Satterlee's website, Satterlee.org . Yep pretty sure that is where I got that informtion, and he had added so many pictures and his memories of his grandparents, James Morrow Satterlee and Nettie Alvira McManigle. Wonderful stories and pictures, I spent hours copying and pasting! Note: I will not be posting those stories on the McManigle Family Website, William spent a long time on his website and so I have redirected interested people to his website, www.Satterlee.org . But I have add his information to my Legacy program and marked them private so that they do not post when I upload the pages.
Well, I guess I will head on back to Mocavo and look at more the of search results before I give my opinion of the new Macavo Genealogy Search engine! Give it try, can't hurt.
