I made an error which I did not pick up immediately, I have tried to correct the record unsuccessfully. Researching two branches of my family at the same time I used Major as the surname when I should have used Mitcham. My focus was on the marriage of William Henry Mitcham to Anna Major, my great great grandparents. William Major does not exist.

I am currently going through verifying previously loaded records adding sources, adding family members and editing any mistakes I made the first time around. Lin S
