<div class="MsoNormal">

Blog: <a href="http://www.littlebytesoflife.com/2011/11/tuesdays-tip-colorado-historic.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+LittleBytesOfLife+%28Little+Bytes+of+Life%29" target="_blank">“Tuesday’s Tip: Colorado Historic Newspaper Collection</a>, I
found the following newspaper article. I have a John McManigle that has gone missing after the 1860 US Federal Census Jefferson County, Pennsylvania. Not Illinois and my John did not have twelve children, but would still like to know who this John McManigle was. . .<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>Suicide</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> Last Saurday
morning about one o’clock Mr. Fank P. Warner of Rosita having been detained at
Silver Clift until that hour, went to Peck’s livery stable accompanied Mr. A.
H. Lacey and ordered a team to bring him home.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> Charley
Goodwin who was in charge of the stable went to the shed stable in the rear,
for the horses and soon came back his face pale and voice trembling and called
Messers Warner and Lacey to come out, and when at the door of the shed he
pointed in and asked “What do you think of that?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> By the light
of the lantern they saw a man hanging in a vacant stall directly in front of
the door. After the first surprise was
over they ascertained that the man was dead beyond peradventure and immediately
sent for Coroner Roberts, who woon came and ordered the body taken down and
cared for. An inquest was held that day
and a verdict of premeditated suicide rendered.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> The
unfortunate, weary life, was John McManigle, who has been in the county about
three years. He came from Neoga,
Cumberland county, Ill., where he left a wife, and somewhere in the east has
twelve children, all grown.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> The deceased
was about 70 years old, and for years has indulged freely in the flowing
bowl. He had been on a spree for several
days and his money being all gone, he could get no more “booze,” was down
hearted, and decided that life was not worth the living, and – the end.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> The body
showed that the deceased had strong will power, as his head was about eighteen
inches from the cross piece above and feet only about the same distance from
the ground. He must have climbed upon
the sides of the stall, adjusted the rope, stepped off and slowly strangled to
death, but his hands hung by his side and there was not evidence of even
involuntary effort to relieve himself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">I actually did not know where to start, I have 3 files cabinets, and probably 8 large plastic file boxes, a couple of small file boxes and loose papers in boxes and on book shelves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I decided to start with the filing cabinet by my computer desk!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Easy enough!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">Right away I found I had a few choices to make:<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left: 1.0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Do I make digital copies and then throw the paper away? Or do I continue to keep everything?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Or do I keep just hard copies of my Direct lines, do I need hard copies of collateral lines, as long as I have digital copies with offsite backups?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What I decided, was to Keep original or copies of original paper, make digital copies of everything, even if I need to make new transcriptions of papers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would also look to see if I could find original copies of paper, obituaries, Birth, Marriage, death, records (I can’t afford to send away for them so hope to find free copies on line.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also some cousins have sent me copies of their original papers, I will be keeping them, making digital copies of them and an attaching a copy in Legacy Family Tree.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Census records I will be dumping as long as I have a digital copy and an attached copy in Legacy Family Tree.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These are available in so many places on the Internet, I really do not feel I need to keep them, especially the ones that I transcribed 25 years ago.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 1.0in; mso-add-space: auto;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 1.0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->I know that most of my sources are the bad style, So and So sent me an email; (sometimes dates and subjects were noted, not always.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No notes if there was an actual copy of a newspaper or a transcription. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One thing I have learned over the last couple of months is that repetition of documentation is NOT a bad thing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In a couple of Legacy Webinar of Geoff Live, I saw that he was entering the information not only as an Event, but also in the text in the source citation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I did not understand, even though I had become frustrated many times looking at a source for a residence and the only note was that it was the Obituary of a relative.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would then have to go back to that relative, read the obituary again, and tell myself, “oh yeah, that is why that is sourced that way.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Would have been a lot easier to see the transcribed copy in the Source Citation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So this started to make sense to me and this past week, I have been changing my ways.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes it may takes a bit more time now, but it will be better in the long run.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><br />
</div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-left: 1.0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Another thing I realized was that some of the information that I have is old and outdated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the beginning, most of us only had about dates and locations were only the states.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we have discovered more records we have been adding the new information.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I want to credit everyone with everything they have contributed over the years, but wonder if I should keep a date of about 1850 from one cousin, when we have learned later from another cousin, that the date was actually 3 January 1853.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Should I be keeping both dates with both sources?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some of the family had about 10 about dates of births from different cousins, should they all be listed?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am still undecided what is the correct way to handle this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do I make notes that Cousin 1, 2, 3 & 4 had it close but not cigar?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And Cousin 7, 8 & 9 were nowhere close?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t think I would like to be a source that is way off when someone else had the correct information.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hmmmm . . . <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-left: 1.0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">So these are just three of the changes I have discovered so far that I will be implementing, I am sure I will find a lot more as I go through the old files.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the other things that I have discovered about myself is that I really feel good cleaning up the sources and information in my Legacy Family Tree and digital files and paper work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But I also enjoy the hunt and I still have lots of that to do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I realize this cleanup will take a lot of time BUT, I don’t want to quit finding new information as I go.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I will need to make time for both.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another thing is that I love learning new information about and how to do Genealogy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But when do you draw the line that it is great to learn, but do not forget to DO, and that includes Blogging. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">So I am back to the Old Files and hope to do more Blogging as I go!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>~smiles~<o:p></o:p></div>Focus Grandma!

After I updated the McManigle Family Website, I received an email from a cousin, Dixie Deaton. She was unhappy with me and I could not imagine what I had done. Well, come to find out I didn’t do anything! YAY BUT, that was the problem ~frown~ Many of you have heard my sad story about my Legacy Family Tree database becoming corrupt back in 2006. I was devastated, and tried to fix it. After about a year, I decided that I should just start over, so I did. It has taken a couple of years to come close. I knew I had not gotten everyone into the new Legacy database, but continued on. Seems like I not only did not get everyone, but I also did not get all my sources . . . Cousins, Pauline Fink and Sheldon McManigle had sent me a lot of information in the early days, Sheldon still does! So of course I started with their files and was planning to get to the other files. That is where I messed up. I have never gotten back to the files of the dozens of cousins that shared with me their research. At this point I am really beating myself up, it’s not helping. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: x-large; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />

Way back in 1996, I only had about 200 family members in my Legacy database. It was easy to keep updated and I printed out lots of Family Group sheets. We even had a “Cousins” page on the McManigle Website, listing all the cousins who had helped with the research and their family lines. </span></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><br />

And needless to say, there were dozens and dozens of helpful cousins. I have also lost many emails throughout the years, but have tried to keep hard copies and copies in my email folders. I have not gone through them in years and have continued my searches adding much information. (note: just checked and we have 28,737 people in the Legacy database, hmmm, yep sure does look like there are more than a few people that are missing!)<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: x-large; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><br />

I have no idea when I will be finished with this project! ~laughs~ I have four file cabinets and at least five file boxes and at least 2,000 stored emails. Oh my! <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: x-large; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><br />

If you have not read it, please take a look. <br />
<br />
I personally work on my Family History with <a href="http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/">Legacy Family Tree</a> software. I love the software and have used it forever. But I also want my Family information in the 'Cloud' so more people can find the information. I do have <a href="http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mcmanigle/Index.htm">The McManigle Family</a> website, I use Legacy to create the pages and then upload them. I have uploaded the GED file to <a href="http://www.ancestry.com/">Ancestry Family Tree</a>s, many many times! There is no way to Sync at this time. I have also uploaded a GED file to <a href="http://www.geni.com/">Geni </a>and <a href="http://www.archives.com/">Archives</a>. But again no way to Sync, the information needs to up re-uploaded. I probably have a couple more out there that I have forgotten. Also <a href="http://www.geni.com/">Geni </a>and <a href="http://www.archives.com/">Archives</a> does not allow a large GED file to be uploaded. So you can see if I tried to keep all of them up to date, I would enter one document to Legacy Family Tree and then spend at least an hour updating all the other trees. Needless to say, it just does not get done. BUT to be able to Sync them all would be very exciting! <br />
<br />
I am looking forward to trying this new software out! <a href="http://www.ancestorsync.com/">Ancestorsync</a>, is the name of the software, it is not available until June 2011, but they do have a PreOrder special, $10.00 for the first year!

I am really hoping I do not let this Blog fall by the wayside! Have to keep writing, but there have been more <a href="http://www.geneawebinars.com/">Webinars</a> and <a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/geneabloggers">Radio shows</a> and new documents to be found! Of course I have also been reading so many wonderful Blogs. Some of these people have so much going on, some are GIVING the Webinars not just watching. They must have much more energy than I do ~laughs~<br />
<br />
I was over at <a href="http://www.findagrave.com/">Find A Grave</a> this past week, found a cousin, Wendy Kreider had lots of posts and they were very helpful. Wendy has always been very generous with sharing her time and documents, I am very grateful. Wendy has also offered to send more corrections and additions for the <a href="http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mcmanigle/Index.htm">McManigle Family Website</a>. Another cousin, Dixie Deaton sent me a few Death Certificates and obituaries! Aren't cousins wonderful! Thank you Cousins!<br />
<br />
I have also been trying to become organized! oh my I just do not think that will ever be possible! There are so many documents and pictures that need to be scanned and entered into the <a href="http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/">Legacy Family Tree</a> software. I am starting late, but <a href="http://www.dearmyrtle.com/">Dear Myrtle</a> has her <a href="http://blog.dearmyrtle.com/p/organization.html">Organization for 2011</a> blogs which I am trying to play catchup. Almost every time I try to organize myself, I end up running in circles and then get into a mind numbing game or if I am really good, I will head over to <a href="http://www.familysearch.org/">Family Search</a> or <a href="http://www.ancestry.com/">Ancestry</a> and transcribe a few records. At least transcribing I don't feel like I am wasting all my time ~laughs~.<br />

But . . . I also have uploaded a GEDCOM file to <a href="http://ancestry.com/">Ancestry</a>, <a href="http://geni.com/">Geni</a>, <a href="http://archives.com/">Archives</a>, and have posted a few people on <a href="http://wikitree.com/">WikiTree</a> . I think I have a few more scattered out in the cloud somewhere, but I honestly do not know where, oh wait, I also have the <a href="http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mcmanigle/Index.htm">McManigle Family Website</a>. I am just not sure how to keep all of these sites and program updated. <br />
<br />
Ancestry will not let me append to the tree already there, I need to download the GEDCOM again, so I delete it than upload it again with any updates I've made to Legacy. Any of the people that had a green leafy thing and I had attached the records to their page are now gone and I have to start all over, even though I have them sited in my Legacy Family Tree software. I have done that a few times now and just not a 'happy camper'! I am thinking that is what will be entailed updating the other sites, unless I go one by one and update each tree when I find new documentation, well that just will not work! When I am on the search, I hardly take the time to get the information in to Legacy and then I am off on finding something more. I sure don't want to take the time to visit each tree and make the note.<br />
<br />
Is anyone else putting up so many trees? Maybe the answer is to once or twice a year upload a GEDCOM file to replace the old one? But make no changes to the trees as you go along, except for the software for your main genealogy? Or find the one you like and then just update the one? Even when I was only updating Legacy Family Tree and Ancestry tree online, it was hard. Many interruptions and I would forget which one I was working on. How do others keep up multiple trees??<br />
<br />
Then comes the question; when I get an email that asks me for more information on someone, I hate to have to ask them where they found the information. I know they did not get it from my Legacy software, but was it on the McManigle Family Website? Ancestry Family Tree? Geni? Archives? Oh and when did I make the latest update on which site? Too confusing for me, I am getting too older and besides I would rather be on the search! ~laughs~Focus Grandma!

I still want to do more checking and see the next three Webinars as these DNA tests are NOT cheap! [<a href="http://www.familytreedna.com/products.aspx">click here for the Family Tree DNA products</a>] I could get my son tested, but not sure I want to find out more about my exhusband! ~laughs~ I want to learn more on what to expect from the mtDNA. As one of my main focuses is the McManigle line, might have to see if Cousin Shel would be tested with the YDNA! Still so much to learn!</span></span><br />

I have been getting some great ideas! I have enjoyed the variety of Blogs out there. I spend so much time on the Blog Reader, that I have not been posting! Somehow that is not what I had in mind ~laughs~ I can excuse myself, that I have not posted because I have been "learning"! And that is very true. So many Blogs and Webinars this past month, I really do not know where the days have gone!<br />
<br />
I made a career change way back in the early 1980's; I was a bookkeeper and I switched to Computer Technician. The decision breaker was, that I could go back to school and not learn much that was new, but get a degree, as I had been a bookkeeper for just over 10 years OR I could take off on something new and where I would be continually learning. Well, the idea of learning something new every day was exciting! I never regretted that decision. I think that is also the reason I have been working on my Family History for so long. I am continually learning something new! This past month, March, I have felt that same excitement! <br />
<br />
I feel like I have been living in a cave before March! I have learned so much! <a href="http://www.millenniacorp.com/_videos/webinars/2011-03-02-moreblogging/2011-03-02-moreblogging.html">Blogging</a> and Twitter/TweatDeck (thank you <a href="http://dearmyrtle.com/">DearMyrtle</a>), Cloud Computing, (thank you<a href="http://blog.eogn.com/"> Dick Eastman</a> and <a href="http://geneabloggers.com/">Thomas MacEntee</a>) <a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/geneabloggers">Blog Radio</a> <i>The most fun I have had on a Friday night in years!</i> <a href="http://www.millenniacorp.com/_videos/webinars/Backingup/Backingup.html"> Backing up Genealogy Data</a>, (thank you <a href="http://geneabloggers.com/">Thomas MacEntee</a>), New Features on Legacy Family Tree, (thank you <a href="http://legacyfamilytree.com/">Geoff Rassmussen</a>), Reasonably Exhaustive Research (thank you <a href="http://haitfamilyresearch.com/default.aspx">Michael Hait</a>), Finding Female Ancestors and Writing a Historical Narrative (thank you <a href="http://www.lisaalzo.com/">Lisa Alzo</a>). <br />
<br />
I have also been spending money, like I had some! ~laughs~ Added more subscription and I need a better way to keep track of them all. Hoping the upcoming Legacy Webinar by <a href="http://geneabloggers.com/">Thomas MacEntee</a>, <a href="https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/926215616">Building a Rearch Toolbox</a> will give me a few ideas.<br />
<br />
So much to learn and so little time! ~smiles~ but loving it! March was a great learning experience for me and I am looking forward to April!<br />
<br />
Have to go, have something NEW to learn. My son, Jesse, just returned from Costco with two new Droid X's!! First phone upgrade in two and a half years, so this will take some time!

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. <br />
<br />
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~<br />
<br />
I hope you will take the time and check out the RootsTech recordings. I am very grateful that they were made availableFocus Grandma!

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75;">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.</span>Focus Grandma!

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~<br />

<br />
Ind the front from left to right, the 3 little guys: <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">Silas S.

<br />
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!<br />
<br />
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<br />
<br />
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~ <b>So at least, lesson learned!</b>Focus Grandma!

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">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.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">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?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">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.</span></span><br />

It was very good, BUT, not much help in finding information for our James McManigle, born in 1782! The Webinar was not very encouraging for locating information pre 1800, actually pre 1850! Can alway hope to find perhaps a newspaper article somewhere along the line.<br />

I read alot of Blogs today, <a href="http://blog.eogn.com/eastmans_online_genealogy/2011/03/mocavocom-a-genealogy-search-engine.html">Dick Eastman's Blog</a> announced a new 'Genealogy' search engine! <a href="http://www.mocavo.com/">Mocavo Genealogy Search. </a> There were many comments in many of the Blogs today, some were not too nice! Some were though! <br />
<br />
Why was I so busy today . . . I became lost in the <a href="http://www.mocavo.com/search?q=McManigle&start=10">Macavo Search for McManigle</a> (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, <a href="http://satterlee.org/">Satterlee.org</a> . Yep pretty sure that is where I got that informtion, and he had added so many pictures and his memories of his grandparents, <a href="http://www.satterlee.org/history/james_morrow_satterlee.htm">James Morrow Satterlee</a> and <a href="http://www.satterlee.org/history/nettie_alvira_mcmanigle_satterle.htm">Nettie Alvira McManigle</a>. Wonderful stories and pictures, I spent hours copying and pasting! <b>Note:</b> <i>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, <a href="http://www.satterlee.org/">www.Satterlee.org</a> . 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.</i> <br />

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 <a href="http://www.mocavo.com/">Macavo Genealogy Search</a> engine!

</ul><br />
I have been using Ancestry forever, or at least it sometimes feels that way, but I was pleasantly surprised at all that I did not know! ~laughs~ surprise surprise! I would definitely recommend these Webinars<br />
<br />
As I have been exploring Blogs lately, I have found so many interesting Blogs. I didn't make note of them all, wish I had. I was feeling guilty for being so easily distracted again! <a href="http://geneawebinars.com/">GeneaWebinars </a> is a great place to look for available Webinars. I got lost there more than once checking out the Webinars and signing up for quite a few of them.<br />
<br />
Guess what I found in my "Draft" ~laughs~ when I lost this I did not think to look in Drafts. Thank you <a href="http://blog.dearmyrtle.com/">DearMyrtle</a> for your Webinar this morning on Twitter/TweekDeck Workshop. All of DearMyrtle's bogs and Webinars have been very helpful. So I will be Tweeking my Blog page!<br />
<br />
Still trying to find the problem on my images not appearing on the <a href="mailto:http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mcmanigle/Index.htm">McManigle Family Website</a>. For some reason it looks like when the pictures links appear on the website, they are trying to access my hard drive. Even I know that won't work ~laughs~ Sent another help ticket out to Legacy, maybe they can find the problem. I am in the process of uploading the pages again for the 4th time today, all 17,000 + pages!!!Focus Grandma!

The <a href="http://frustratedgenealogist.blogspot.com/">FrustratedGenealogist</a>. One of her posts, "<a href="http://frustratedgenealogist.blogspot.com/2011/03/real-genealogist.html">A Real Genealogist</a>" I really enjoyed and she seemed to be talking about ME! I especially loved her reference to "Grasshopper Brain", wow was that me! ~laughs~ I really do try to be a real genealogist, but I am so easily distracted. Just the other day I was uploading pictures of headstones from a trip, my Granddaughter, Bayleigh and my brother, Eric and I went on last August. The picture was of Eric's grandmother, (we have different fathers) Olga Larson Bloom Miller Fike Peer, yep she had 4 husbands and I could never keep track of them. <br />

Next to her headstone was the headstones of two of her husbands, Terrence G. Fike.<br />
<br />

The second headstone next to her was of her fourth husband, Lawrence A. Peer<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz2KmV8RomWgQVO6V8Ubf0Yorr-bT_g-q3E2r7anjmMy8-wnR7070gqI5TnRfUrFTZWy-XzFuwL-wmhfrh65VAWOrRBhMY9LQIwO4EHivdD3MMaBeeh5pHep3mtQ3D2UVuTfEW8bGVCGNK/s1600/Lawrence+A+Peer+Aug+2010.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz2KmV8RomWgQVO6V8Ubf0Yorr-bT_g-q3E2r7anjmMy8-wnR7070gqI5TnRfUrFTZWy-XzFuwL-wmhfrh65VAWOrRBhMY9LQIwO4EHivdD3MMaBeeh5pHep3mtQ3D2UVuTfEW8bGVCGNK/s320/Lawrence+A+Peer+Aug+2010.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
I vaguely remember, Grandpa Terry and Grandpa Larry, but always confused them, as I was very young at the time. <br />
Back to the Grasshopper Brain, As I had only the information from their headstone, I headed over to Ancestry to see if anything was there. For Lawrence Alfred Peer I found a Birth Index, and the 1920 US Federal Census from Spokane, Spokane County, Washington and the 1930 US Federal Census Spokane, Spokane County, Washington. How exciting, I found his parents, Roy Isaac Peer and Nettie J. Harron and his six siblings, Jasper A., Mildred, David L., Ruth, Walter R. and George C. Peer. WOW that was exciting.<br />
Then on to husband number three, Terrence George Fike, I found his Draft Registration cards for World War I and II . . . I was really doing the ~happy dance~, then I realized these two gentlemen were not related to me or my brother! Why was I doing this, I wanted to find out everything I could about them. My goodness, I realized that there were actually hundreds of 'blood' lines to be looking into. I did stop at this point, but I did a bit feel foolish.<br />
So I am guessing I do have a "Grasshopper Brain", I could call it "Butterfly Brain", I think I like flitting from one person to another. Sounds more feminine than jumping ~laughs~ Sometimes I think I should have named this blog something like "Easily Distracted". I try to stay focused, but I really don't think it will ever happen.Focus Grandma!

Not sure what the problem might be, but the other links seem to be working fine right now. I have an email in to Legacy and hopefully they will be able to let me know where I messed up. I do not want to edit each page to ensure the links work, 16,000 webpages are way too many for me to edit one at a time. So hopefully Legacy can let me know what I have done.Focus Grandma!

I did it ~laughs~ only took me four and a half years! Actually I have been in the process of uploading for the last two hours and looks like it still has a couple of hours to go. Seems like everything is running smoothly, but I am ready for a nap! Will check it out when I wake and then send out emails to friends and family that might be interested. Seems like a long process, but not as bad as I remember it.Focus Grandma!

This morning I received the new password to access the website. I opened <a href="http://www.internet-soft.com/">FTP Commander Deluxe</a> (free software). Entered the new password and YAY it worked! I was able to download the graphics I needed for creating the updated website ~happy dance~ <br />
While I waited for the new password from <a href="http://www.rootsweb.com/">RootsWeb</a>, I continued to transcribe for Ancestry and spent a lot of time making sure that the pictures from<a href="http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/"> Legacy</a> were attached to the right person. I really love Windows 7, but the biggest problem I have encountered is that the attachments, weren't attached. But it looks like once I attach one picture to a person, all the pictures for that person, are redirected to the correct location. <br />
Today I am continuing with the pictures and also updating some of the family. Making sure that the emails I have received with family information has been added to the <a href="http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/">Legacy</a> program. Of course, I become easily distracted by the records and will wander off for more records ~laughs~ But then, that is one of the fun parts of Family Research. <br />
I received an email from Dennis Janke which helped a great deal with the Hershlep/Hershleb Family. Then this morning I received an email from Tracey Taylor, a new found cousin from James McManigle family to Sarah Bowley who married James Corey McManigle, son of Alexander and Juliet (Graham) McManigle. Always wonderful to hear from new and old cousins!<br />
Another chore I have is to find a HTML editor, I used FrontPage in the past, but no longer have access to that program. I have been looking for the past couple of days and will have to try out a couple before I make a decision. So this process is moving along, just slowly, but hopefully, it will become easier to keep the website updated in the future.Focus Grandma!

I could not find the graphics I used, I guess I could have found new ones, but I like the old ones. Then I remembered that I could download from the website and get the graphics. I found a free FTP program, Commander Deluxe, but I kept getting error messages: 500 Control Connection Closed; Connection aborted Winsock error #10053. I have no idea what that means, so I went to the help desk and became very confused. So I ended up writing an email with the error message and asked what I could do. So I guess I will wait to hear from them for now. I will go back to Legacy and try creating the webpages with default graphics and at least be able to see what I have. Then try to edit and locate any missing data. I think when I changed computer many pictures became unattached. Still lots to do but I am beginning to remember why it has been so long since I have updated the Website ~smiles~Focus Grandma!

I guess I have been lazy or trying to get the database 'perfect' ~laughs~ We all know that will never happen! I googled 'how do i upload legacy family tree to the internet?' Up came a link to <a href="http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/">Legacy Family Tre</a>e '<b><a href="http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/tipsWebPages.asp">'A Guide to Publishing Genealogy Web Pages with Legacy</a></b> by Jim Terry, Technical Support, Millennia Corp. Then there was a link to File Transfer Protocol Utilities and I found a free <a href="http://www.vista.ru/2inter.htm">FTP Commander Deluxe 9.2</a>. Ok, will give this a go, please wish me luck. This might take awhile as I will need to create the website in Legacy, make sure that I still have the graphics from the original website, which means I will probably have to go back to the old computer and get the files. hmmm maybe this is why I have not updated the website. ~laughs~ So many little things to take care of first. Will try to keep this blog updated of how I am doing, I hope I am up to all this. Guess I should thank cousin Wendy for the final push to get this done.Focus Grandma!
