2015 Legacy Stats

Last January I did this post on 2014 Legacy statistics.  This year I decided to do the same thing. What I found was very surprising to me.


My numbers did not change from last year!  What?!  I know I added new people to my database. Then I looked at my husbands and I lots 3 from last year!  What?!

Looking at my overall stats I added 104 people and 35 marriages.

Last year I worked on sources.  Cleaning up sources was my main objective and I think I accomplished that.  {I have a handful that still need some work.}

This year I want to find more documentation for the people in my tree and hopefully add some more ancestors.  My plan is to do what +Russ Worthington and +Randy Seaver do and mine ancestry databases.  First up will be Pennsylvania death certificates.

How did your 2015 genealogy go and did you make plans for 2016?

Marine Casualty Card Database

By
While I was writing Top 10 Blog Posts for 2019 I discovered that my top post was US Marine Casualty Cards from 2014.  Wow!  {There is also an update to the original post here  where I show some more information that was sent to me.}  I went back to read the post and discovered that the links no longer work.  I did a little digging and found a link to the Casualty Card Database at the Marine Corps University website.  At this site you click on the war you want to search and download a searchable spreadsheet.  Once you locate your Marine you send an email to request the card.  There are also links to download information about what the codes mean on the cards. I also found that you can search the U.S. Marine Corps Casualty Index, 1940-1958 , at Ancestry.com.  It gives the casualty date, type, unit, and service number.  There is a link to go to another website from the Ancestry database but that link does not work. {I believe...

Just a Little Brain Surgery

By
Going home today!  Thursday, August 23, 2018. Monday, August 21, 2018 I had brain surgery to hopefully fix the pain I have been having from the blood vessel wrapped around my Trigeminal nerve.  To read more about Trigeminal neuralgia click here .  The Trigeminal nerve is a nerve that runs from the brain stem to the face.  The procedure that I had done is called  microvascular decompression   So far so good...the pain seems to be gone. Morning of surgery for my MRI brain mapping. And my lovely incision.  There are about 13 staples in my head.  Thursday, August 23, 2018.  I am feeling okay.  There is not a lot of pain; mostly burning and itching from the start of healing. I am told that I cannot do much for 6 to 12 weeks (at first I was told about 2 weeks and a much smaller incision).  I guess this leaves more time for genealogy and crafting while I recover.  And lets face it...no housework for 12 weeks is wi...
