Notes

2016: I can't remember when I wasn't interested in my ancestors. My grandmother, Florence Burdge Stuewe, would tell me I was related to President Hays, Daniel Boone, and others. She also said that our Burdge family were Pilgrims (which I interpreted as Mayflower). My other grandmother, Sallie Dodson Armstrong, said one of her uncles (or great-uncles) did soft-shoe for the Queen of England (meaning Queen Victoria). My grandpa, Donald Armstrong said his relatives were from Scotland and snuck into the country because they were wanted men for being horse-thieves. If you're shaking your head, you know that as with many family tales, these were all pretty much untrue (although there may be some truth to the horse thieves part.)

Currently:

1. Side families -- the Hall family (William Schrader Hall) in Rush County, Indiana and Quertermous (and other amazing spelling variations) which is actually a direct ancestor but working through as many as I can find and source. Trying to see how the families in Kentucky (and other states) are related.

2. I am also working through my watchlist sometimes starting with the oldest profile editted and sometimes randomly picking a family, making sure that everyone has sources, a biography, and stickers, if appropriate. I'm thinking it will take me about 3 years to do everyone, especially as side-tracked as I get. In 2021, I'm downsizing my watchlist, attempting to get my watchlist down to a reasonable number.

3. Working on my son-in-law's family, Gaskins, from south Georgia and back into North Carolina.

4. Working on my daughter-in-law's family, Moseley, and other in-law families, Bennett and Carney.

5. Data doctoring and trying to keep suggestions for all my ancestors and relations clean through 10 generations.

6. And besides Data Doctors, working on the GEDI challenge, 52 weeks of accuracy, and Southern Colonies project, specifically, Georgia Salzburgers.
