- [Thank You Reverand Cooper and Reverand Brooks](https://moore-mays.org/thank-you-reverand-cooper-and-reverand-brooks/) - When researching in the 1800s, you inevitably come across the issue of trying to find out the maiden name and parents of your women ancestors. It's just a fact of genealogy that it wasn't well recorded for a very long time. When you can find any glimpse of information, it's so exciting. There are tons
- [Identifying Locations](https://moore-mays.org/identifying-locations/) - Last time I posted, I mentioned I’m working on identifying some slides left to me by my Grandpa Moore. I’m going to share some of my identifications today. This has been a challenge for but also very fun. The challenge being that most of these slides are from the 1960s and not all of these
- [Still here](https://moore-mays.org/still-here/) - Llewellyn Thorward-Moore, standing in front of flowers. Unknown location. Unknown time, but definitely a time before the internet. Well, I'm still here, trying to get back into my genealogy research. I'm also dealing with quite a bit of internet downtime. So the frustration level is high. Then I remind myself, there are things you can
- [Welcome to the Family Hammells!](https://moore-mays.org/welcome-to-the-family-hammells/) - You might be wondering who the Hammells are. That's because I have never mentioned them before! They are new to you and me. That means I've added another surname to my direct family tree. This is really exciting! It's always exciting to go back another generation but it's even better when you can rediscover a
- [But Where Is Catherine From?](https://moore-mays.org/but-where-is-catherine-from/) - One thing I can say with confidence is that most genealogists at some point, have to correct mistakes from when they first started researching. Eventually we all learn to make sure everything is sourced and you don't just copy anything from the internet. Unfortunately, that time is now for me. There is no more just
- [Filling Out the Menzies](https://moore-mays.org/filling-out-the-menzies/) - Today I am working on my Menzies family line. It's still been a struggle to get back in the swing of what I was doing. Mostly I'm struggling to keep focused for long periods of time. To combat this, I've been doing short bursts to try and work up to longer work sessions. This means
- [End of Summer](https://moore-mays.org/end-of-summer/) - Here we are, at the end of another summer. My summer has been busy, busy, busy. As all summers are I guess. I've traveled to see family quite a bit, had family visit me. All in all, it was a very fun summer. I spent some time in Florida with my brother and his family
- [End of the School Year](https://moore-mays.org/end-of-the-school-year/) - All across social media is the buzz of the end of another school year. Graduates are celebrating the end of their high school years. The mothers celebrating their babies first year of school. It's so fun to celebrate all these milestones. I thought I would take today to share some old school pictures I found
- [The Moores and the Great Chicago Fire](https://moore-mays.org/the-moores-and-the-great-chicago-fire/) - Above is a reproduction of a Currier & Ives lithograph showing people fleeing the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. I've always wondered if my Moore family were present in Chicago at the time of the fire but I've never pinned down their actual location or where they were in relation to the fire. Recently, I
- [Identifying Pictures: Speed Round](https://moore-mays.org/identifying-pictures-speed-round/) - This Mother's Day I spent some time showing my Mom how cool Google Lens could be, and I quickly identified many pictures from my photo archive. Here are some of the pictures we identified. The first location is from the set of 1960s photo slides. All the other locations I believe to be taken in
- [Spent My Weekend With The Johnsons](https://moore-mays.org/spent-my-weekend-with-the-johnsons/) - In my previous post, Word of the Day: Avoidance, I lamented that I have never really made progress with my Johnson family. I found a new to me resource that gave me the push I needed to go ahead and see what I could find. NYS Historic Newspapers I am loving the efforts of libraries
- [Mystery Monday: Grandpa on a Bench](https://moore-mays.org/mystery-monday-grandpa-on-a-bench/) - I'm still knee deep in organizing files and putting information back onto the database portion of the website. I thought I would post here the pictures I posted on my Facebook for family this weekend. It never hurts to get more eyes on a mystery so every once and awhile I post some pictures for
- [Samuel Redford, the story continues](https://moore-mays.org/samuel-redford-the-story-continues/) - What We Know It's time to start updating where my family research is at these days. I thought I would start with Samuel Redford. He was previously the first known Ancestor on my Redford line. I believe I've gone one more generation back now but there are still so many questions. For the first part.
- [March 17th](https://moore-mays.org/march-17th/) - Today is St. Patrick's Day and so I thought I would look up March 17th in my family tree file and see how many people were born on this day. Turns out so far, only 2 in my clean file. In my old file there are 14. The most significant one for me to celebrate
- [Identifying More Locations: Cypress Gardens](https://moore-mays.org/identifying-more-locations-cypress-gardens/) - I'm back sharing more slides from 1962! We are in Cypress Gardens, Florida! Technically in 2025 we are in Legoland. Which I have visited with my niece and nephew and it's very cool to see how Legoland is honoring the history of Cypress Gardens. There are call backs to the themes of the old botanical
- [I have a Category Problem](https://moore-mays.org/i-have-a-category-problem/) - When I sat down to write a blog post for today, I was completely un-inspired. I couldn't think of anything to write about. The great thing is I have an Excel spreadsheet for that problem. I opened my spreadsheet and was looking around, then I came to my website and decided to look through old
- [It's So Hard to Let Go Sometimes](https://moore-mays.org/its-so-hard-to-let-go-sometimes/) - Even though I'm coming up on the end of my family file cleanup, (which I started sometime in 2010), sometimes I just love to dig into my Original file and clean that up a little too. I just can't seem to let it go. Am I going to always have two working files? Or will
- [Bill worked late for Sharkey](https://moore-mays.org/bill-worked-late-for-sharkey/) - Just that small sentence shouldn't mean much to anyone other than a genealogist. To a genealogist it's a clue into the life of an ancestor. For me, it wouldn't have meant much without the document I am about to share with you. Before this document, I would have noted that my great-grandpa William L Moore
- [What's New in my Genealogy Database](https://moore-mays.org/whats-new-in-my-genealogy-database/) - I get a lot of e-mails about what kind of information I have about all the names I talk about here on the blog. My database website is pretty outdated with the information I currently have. So I wanted to show the easiest way to find out what is new on my database website. If
- [Where is my Genealogy sponsor?](https://moore-mays.org/where-is-my-genealogy-sponsor/) - Almost a year ago (Yikes!), I posted about a bad habit of mine. I've tried my hardest to beat this habit, but I learned today that it's still there. I'm admitting it for the second time. I sometimes have a hard time checking the whole page of a source. There I've said it out loud.
- [Mystery Monday: We found Her!](https://moore-mays.org/mystery-monday-we-found-her/) - Back in 2010, I posted this image: At the time I only knew two things, it wasn't Josephine Doremus and that it was probably a Thorward. That was 50% correct. It absolutely was not Josephine Doremus but it also was not a Thorward. Recently I was going through Ancestry Member Tree photo hints and I
- [Treasure Chest Thursday: Grandpa Made the Papers!](https://moore-mays.org/tct-grandpa-made-papers/) - I will save you from hearing about how great of a record keeper my Great-Grandma was. Obviously Treasure Chest Thursday would not have been the same without her, but we will just move straight to the point of this post. Newspaper articles! (Copyright Notice: I was given permission by The Progress to post these clippings.
- [My Current Digital Organization](https://moore-mays.org/my-current-digital-organization/) - Five years ago, I posted the ongoing adventures of trying to get all my paper organized. At the time I thought I was going to do great! Well, five years later, I no longer use those crates, hanging file folders or even that blanket or bed frame. I guess it was a clean sweep! My
- [Treasure Chest Thursday: Llewellyn's Bits and Pieces](https://moore-mays.org/treasure-chest-thursday-llewellyns-bits-and-pieces/) - Treasure Chest Thursday is a Blogging Prompt used by the GeneaBloggers community to help bloggers come up with things to write about their ancestors. I've always known I am very lucky to have inherited a box of things from my Great-Grandmother Llewellyn. I could probably fill a whole year of Thursdays with posts about the
- [Diary of Llewellyn: July 22, 1923](https://moore-mays.org/diary-of-llewellyn-july-22-1923/) - Went to all of church service. Had dinner at 1 o'clock and left for home at 2 o'clock.

- [Thorward Meat Market](https://moore-mays.org/thorward-meat-market/) - When I first started to dig into my father's side of the family, my first stop was my Grandfather. He's a wealth of knowledge! Not only does he have a great memory, but he also had a wealth of documents and photos in his Columbus, Ohio basement! It took me a few years, but I
- [Mrs. Rowe's Cookbook](https://moore-mays.org/mrs-rowes-cookbook/) - Since the last post was about Dad's side of the family, this one will be about Moms. A few years back, my Mom was getting cookbooks from one of those mail order book clubs. This one was exclusively for cookbooks. This gem came in the mail at some point. I didn't think anything of it
- [Identifying and Un-Identifying People](https://moore-mays.org/identifying-and-un-identifying-people/) - As I'm sure you're all familiar with, it's a big triumph to find pictures of your ancestors. I'm very rich indeed with priceless photographs. I have hundreds and hundreds... and hundreds of photographs to scan and identify. I'm not complaining, really I'm not. I can't tell you how privileged I feel. I love finding photos
- [Favorite Things: Thorward Photos](https://moore-mays.org/favorite-things-thorward-photos/) - There are many things that I love. Some of those things have nothing to do with genealogy. However, many of them have everything to do with genealogy! I was going through some of my picture files today and I decided to post some of my favorite Thorward Family photos. William Lawrence Moore - My great
- [Reminiscing about the Beginning](https://moore-mays.org/reminiscing-about-the-beginning/) - I was a little sentimental this weekend. I've been cleaning out my external hard drive and I've found files I haven't looked at in years. Not to mention 2 weeks ago we cleaned out a shed we haven't been in for 3 years at least! So I'm just a big ball of sentimentality here. One
- [From Grandma's Kitchen](https://moore-mays.org/from-grandmas-kitchen/) - Okay, so I told you before that when I was in eighth grade, my grandmother gave me a copy of her family tree. Well a few years after that, she also sent me a whole mess of recipes. They were in a big box and also in that box was a cookie press. I wish
- [Wordless Wednesday: Stevie](https://moore-mays.org/wordless-wednesday-stevie/) - Steven Allen Moore (1959-1965) The next time, maybe I won't speak, but this is my father's little brother who was killed in an accident at the tender age of 6. We don't talk much about Stevie when the family gets together. It's still hard. He is dearly missed and loved no matter the day or
- [Favorite Things: Books, and more Books](https://moore-mays.org/favorite-things-books-and-more-books/) - I'm sure you're all familiar with what we genealogists go through to find our family history. I was putting together a blog about a Duggar-sized family in my family tree, then I realized that it was going to take me longer than this afternoon to finish. So maybe by Monday, I'll have my facts and
- [To Collect Spares or not to Collect Spares, that is the question](https://moore-mays.org/to-collect-spares-or-not-to-collect-spares-that-is-the-question/) - I was watching the latest episode of Ghost Hunters this morning. They investigated the Stephen Crane House in Asbury Park, New Jersey. It really got me thinking about those extra branches of the family tree. For the record, this isn't a random subject. There is thought and a little documentation that Stephen Crane was related
- [Kids by the Dozen: Nathan Mays edition](https://moore-mays.org/kids-by-the-dozen-nathan-mays-edition/) - I have re-written this entry many times. I just can't seem to grasp the scope of Nathan Mays and his big family without over complicating my narration. Usually when I decide to sit down and do genealogy research, I pick a random family and then I aggressively research that family through the census and any
- [Castle Menzies, how I wish to visit you...](https://moore-mays.org/castle-menzies-how-i-wish-to-visit-you/) - I'm going to make it clear before I even get started. I'm not in the habit of assuming things about genealogy. I promise. Okay, I don't officially assume things. Just because I haven't proven it yet, doesn't mean that I won't eventually right? Well in any case, I don't make a habit of it. Sometimes
- [Theme Troubles](https://moore-mays.org/theme-troubles/) - I have been having a bit of trouble getting the right theme to work and customize for the site. Please be patient while I find something that displays correctly. I don't plan to have an all pink blog for long. ;)
- [Wordless Wednesday: Taylors](https://moore-mays.org/wordless-wednesday-taylors/) - Mary Elizabeth Taylor Lula Margaret Applegate-Taylor Wordless Wednesday is a Daily Blogging Topic that I got from GeneaBloggers. To participate in Wordless Wednesday simply create a post with the main focus being a photograph or image. Some people also include attribute information as to the source of the image (date, location, owner, etc.). Some have
- [Backing away from the ledge...](https://moore-mays.org/backing-away-from-the-ledge/) - I am having an issue. As I jump into Genealogy blogging with both feet, I also need to remember my responsibilities. One of those responsibilities is to correctly show and identify where my information comes from. So far, I haven't posted anything that I would consider super factual or important. I take a very tongue
- [Treasure Chest Thursday and My Favorite Things](https://moore-mays.org/treasure-chest-thursday-and-my-favorite-things/) - Today's blog can double for a GeneaBlogger topic and a My Favorite Things post! The "treasure" I'll tell you about is my Great Grandmother Llewellyn's journal. I've tried transcribing to the site a few times but nothing that has stuck. I'll get that worked out soon. As you can see the journal is quite old.
- [2010 Cenus, have you filled out yours?](https://moore-mays.org/2010-cenus-have-you-filled-out-yours/) - Mine has been filled out for over a week now, but I will be sending it out today (Now that it's after April 1).
- [Surname Saturday: Oy Vey](https://moore-mays.org/surname-saturday-oy-vey/) - Today, is Surname Saturday over at GeneaBloggers. I wasn't even going to post again until Monday or Tuesday. Then I watched the newest episode of Who Do You Think You Are? That show is so great to give me motivation to get off my duff and get back to work on my family file. I
- [Today is Easter](https://moore-mays.org/today-is-easter/) - I will probably spend it on the computer or in front of the TV. It's a tradition you know. Not to mention we recorded the Ten Commandments in HD last night. Who can beat that? Another tradition we have is decorating our kitchen table for the changing of seasons and holidays. It's one of those
- [Ancestry's Family Tree option](https://moore-mays.org/ancestrys-family-tree-option/) - I have a problem folks. I like to change my mind. Some will say it's because of my gender, others will say it's because I lack focus. I'm sure all these things are true. The one thing related to genealogy I can't seem to make a decision on is Ancestry.com's Family Tree section. In the
- [My current "project"](https://moore-mays.org/my-current-project/) - I'm currently in the process of cleaning up my hard drives and my family file. While I do this, I'm also checking out RootsMagic Essentials. I kind of fell in love with it to be honest. It's making my source citations so much easier to manage! I've been a long time Family Tree Maker user,
- [GEA: Kentucky Cemeteries](https://moore-mays.org/gea-kentucky-cemeteries/) - The first Google Earth Adventure was so much fun, I'm back to do it again! This time it will be taking you on one of my first Genealogy trips. It took place around 2003 or 2004? I'm not exactly sure. It was this trip when I got the majority of my Tombstone pictures. We were
- [Treasure Chest Thursday: Our Grandfather Clock](https://moore-mays.org/treasure-chest-thursday-our-grandfather-clock/) - The next "treasure" I will show you is our Grandfather clock. This clock has only been in our house for about 6 years now. Technically we've owned it since it was made in 1983. The story goes that my Grandmother and Wayne were visiting us. Wayne was huge into the Civil War. Which is only
- [My Tools: TNG Sitebuilding Software](https://moore-mays.org/my-tools-tng-sitebuilding-software/) - Most times when I get questions or comments about my main site moore-mays.org, people want to know what I use to handle the large amount of information that is on my site. First thing I have to say, this method is not for people who don't have a basic knowledge of how to work with
- [New Beginnings](https://moore-mays.org/new-beginnings/) - I had some trouble sleeping last night, so I was thinking about some things I could do to improve my website. I'm still trying to work on blog stuff. Just need to learn the code first! One of the things I decided about my site is that I can add new "trees" manually. I usually
- [Finally Moved In](https://moore-mays.org/finally-moved-in/) - I finally feel like I have moved back into my domain. Over the past week, I've been working on a new website for my Uncle. This gave me the motivation to dig around in the coding for both this blog, and the main site. Well, I've finally got a fairly uniform looking website! I could
- [World War II Memorial](https://moore-mays.org/world-war-ii-memorial/) - It's kind of ironic that last Thursday I posted pictures of my family at The National Mall before I was born. On Saturday, my mother returned to the scene of the crime, so to speak. We live close to D.C. but we never go. We're way to used to non-City traffic. Ours isn't exactly Montana,
- [My Tools: Windows Live Writer](https://moore-mays.org/my-tools-windows-live-writer/) - The other day, I posted about the World War II Memorial in Washington D.C. What you didn't know was that I was playing with a blogging program while I was typing up that post. It was tons of fun, and I decided that I will use it more! I've had it on my computer ever
- [What does this mean? Anyone know.](https://moore-mays.org/what-does-this-mean-anyone-know/) - I've been going through person by person, census by census. I'm trying to do this all correctly which means if something comes up, then I have to ask questions. I'm currently trying to cite all the census information for William Harmon Mays and his family. He and his young daughter moved to Ohio after his
- [Forward Progress](https://moore-mays.org/forward-progress/) - I've put this off for a long time but now I'm breaking it out and working on it. I am restoring a damaged photo of my Grandfather, Stanley Mays. It's one of the few pictures we have of him, and it's certainly the best one. So here's my progress so far. Not bad so far
- [Oops I got distracted](https://moore-mays.org/oops-i-got-distracted/) - I may or may not have spent my last two evenings lost in Google Earth and Panoramio. I don't mean to be distracted by these things but I can seem to help it. I've realized over the last couple of weeks that I haven't done much traveling at all. Back and forth to family reunions
- [I made the plunge...](https://moore-mays.org/i-made-the-plunge/) - For better or for worse, I went ahead and just deleted my "old" Mays family tree from my website. It started as just deleting the living individuals. It evolved into a small rebellion on my part. People who have visited this site since it's inception know how many times I've deleted everything and re-added everything.
- [Now I Remember](https://moore-mays.org/now-i-remember/) - I remember now why I allowed my Mom to have control over the Mays Line of our tree for so long. It gets very confusing. With that many different people I guess it's only a matter of time. Since I'm determined to do things right this time, I found that I was trying to ignore
- [Mays Family Update](https://moore-mays.org/mays-family-update/) - After I made my Mays Family post yesterday, I went back through the Kentucky Death Records on Ancestry.com. I decided to just put random details in there and see what came up. You may not be able to tell from the size of that death certificate but that is Jurena Mays' death certificate. It shows
- [Earth Day](https://moore-mays.org/earth-day/) - In honor of Earth Day, I'm going to show you a little glimpse into what we worked on recently. Our first vegetable garden. It's our first try, and we're still noobies when it comes to things like this, but we're trying. That's all that really matters right? Here's my parents trying to figure out how
- [Follow Friday: Never Give Up](https://moore-mays.org/follow-friday-never-give-up/) - For many many years (okay for 4 years), I have been trying to locate where the New Zion Cemetery in Pendleton County, Kentucky is located. I found the New Zion Cemetery listed on James William Applegate's death certificate. He is the second generation of Applegates and his father died fairly young, so information from that
- [Madness Monday: You can kill yourself with Insanity](https://moore-mays.org/madness-monday-you-can-kill-yourself-with-insanity/) - I never thought I'd have anything to contribute to Madness Monday at GeneaBloggers. Sure I have plenty of dementia in the family but I doubted I’d ever have any good stories about this subject. A while back (meaning I can’t remember when), I got the death certificate for my Great-Great Grandfather. I got quite a
- [Grandma](https://moore-mays.org/grandma/) - We have company this week. My cousin is in Maryland visiting us. I may not have the time to get updates in this week, but we'll see! I have nothing to offer in way of tips or tricks today, so I'll leave you with a picture! Emogene Taylor-Mays-Utter (1929-2005) She was one of my favorite
- [Point Lookout](https://moore-mays.org/point-lookout/) - I'll try and put together an informative post about Point Lookout / Fort Lincoln once I have some more free time. We visited today and it has a big spot in history. Tomorrow we're headed up to Washington D.C. for some culture. ;) So I'll be taking some more pictures of that.
- [The Things I Saw](https://moore-mays.org/the-things-i-saw-2/) - We've had the pleasure of entertaining my cousin and her two energetic little girls this week. They left this morning and the house is eerily silent. I've done laundry (not finished), I played with the pictures in Photo Shop. I finally finished that book I was reading. Now I'm going to catch up on here!
- [Dilemmas are the Spice of Life](https://moore-mays.org/dilemmas-are-the-spice-of-life/) - The beauty of starting your family file over is that you know everything in there will be correct. The dilemma I have is I would never delete my old file. It's been the file I've edited for many years now. I could never throw it away like a used shopping bag. (Actually I use the
- [The Mystery of Henry](https://moore-mays.org/the-mystery-of-henry/) - There is always one person in your family file who frustrates you. Sometimes it's because they show up out of nowhere. Or maybe they disappeared. How these mysteries are ever solved I don't know. I usually just walk away from it for awhile and try again later with a clear brain. Sometimes it works, most
- [Holy Cow, Jackpot!](https://moore-mays.org/holy-cow-jackpot/) - If you don't hear from me for a few days, it's because FamilySearch just added a ton of new records to their website. I can't wait to dig in and start looking. I have 227 matches for Taylor in Somerset County, Maryland alone! Not to mention the Kentucky Death and Marriage Records they added. I
- [Current Family File Stats](https://moore-mays.org/current-family-file-stats/) - Slowly but surely I'm getting stuff entered into my new shiny Family File. I decided to take a break from that today though. I want to get lost in Census stuff. In order to do that, I can't be nit-picking on every detail. What is my new great idea you ask? Well I exported a
- [No Genealogy today](https://moore-mays.org/no-genealogy-today/) - Unfortunately, there was no time to write up a post today. I was playing around with my new purchase: Unfortunately, I forgot to get my Serial ATA cable at the same time. Then I decided why not just install it as the primary drive. My old drive is pretty old, and pretty small. I didn't
- [Why must you do that?](https://moore-mays.org/why-must-you-do-that/) - I know it's an old complaint. Everyone has it. I just don't know why people can't just get last names right! I'm not even just talking about record keepers. I'm talking about people too. I don't have the problem on my Dad's family, or on the Taylors. I have the misspelling problem with the Mays
- [It's not my fault](https://moore-mays.org/its-not-my-fault/) - Sometimes when I end up spending a big chunk of my time doing stuff on the computer, I don't always get things done. It's like I've wasted all that time. I've finally chased the cause of this very annoying side effect. I made a disastrous mistake in putting my computer desk near my window. I don't know
- [Progress!](https://moore-mays.org/progress/) - I finally sat down and started playing in my free of sources Family Tree Maker family file. The one with all of the people, and none of the sources. I keep on trying to figure out the Source Citation procedure for Family Tree Maker but it doesn't ever end with me actually feeling like I'm
- [Dear Faithful Reader](https://moore-mays.org/dear-faithful-reader-2/) - As someone who has made the effort to come to my blog, I feel I must be completely honest with you. You've spent your time reading my random ramblings. That's a significant commitment to me. My family are the only ones who do that. So if you take the time to read my ramblings, you
- [Battle Plan](https://moore-mays.org/battle-plan/) - One thing I’ve learned about myself is I work much better when I have a plan… except not much of one. Too much planning can make me doubt myself. So after a very weird, unproductive few days I had to make a plan. Don’t ask me about all those files from yesterday, some are still
- [Random People: Hulda Adkins #0034](https://moore-mays.org/hulda-adkins/) - I had an idea! Why not share my progress on my "random people" with you! First up is Hulda Adkins. In my Original file I don't have much on her yet. I have her 1870 listing, which was when she was just 9 years old. Hulda Adkinsborn: about 1861, KentuckyParents: Harrison Adkins, Rebecca Click Hulda's
- [That makes sense!](https://moore-mays.org/that-makes-sense/) - Yesterday I shared with you my forays into researching Hulda Adkins, #0034 from my Random Relative Project ™ (Category coming soon, I'm addicted to categories).

- [Well I had plans](https://moore-mays.org/well-i-had-plans/) - I started to get a tech geek itch. It was bad, it's always pretty bad, but it was really bad today. It's been awhile since I had something new to play with. So I barely restrained myself from installing a Wiki onto the site and playing around with the code. Just barely did I escape
- [Free Resources pay off!](https://moore-mays.org/free-resources-pay-off/) - I'll be the first person in line to admit I don't ever want to give up my Ancestry.com membership. It's so convenient for searching. I know the downfalls and dangers but I just don't care. It's like my fluffy pajamas, they're my security blankets. I think sometimes it's easy to forget all those other great
- [Another Mays Family Drama](https://moore-mays.org/another-mays-family-drama/) - I've posted twice already (01, 02) about trying to figure out about William and Anna Mays' children. I'd link you to the main site, but I cleared it out so I could sync the ID numbers with my "Random Relative Project". The last I researched this family, I was trying to figure out where some
- [Update on Photo Rehab](https://moore-mays.org/update-on-photo-rehab/) - In this post, I showed you a quick peek at the start of my photo retouching project. It's one of the only photos we have of my mother's father. He died when my mother was pregnant with my older brother. So not many of his grandchildren ever really "met" him. A few were babies, I
- [Madness Monday: Back Away...](https://moore-mays.org/madness-monday-back-away/) - Sometimes, you just need to back away from your family file. Well I do at least. I found myself this week re-thinking EVERYTHING that involved my research and my blog. I've already done the irreversible step of clearing out my Mom's side of the tree on my website. Which I'll never regret, because keeping it
- [Tombstone Tuesday: Unknown West grave](https://moore-mays.org/tombstone-tuesday-unknown-west-grave/) - When I was lost in Kentucky many moons ago, I found this gravesite. At first I was excited because I was just going to Johnsville Cemetery for my Taylor relatives. Little did I know I had really opened up a waterfall of relatives. I know better now. Any cemetery in Bracken County, Kentucky is littered with
- [Hijinks Indeed](https://moore-mays.org/hijinks-indeed/) - This is the 1880 census image I've been working on for quite a bit. Not that I don't know who everyone is or where they go. I do indeed know all of them. It's just that because I am re-verifying information, I sometimes come back to this page. As many times as I've looked at
- [Memorial Day](https://moore-mays.org/memorial-day/) - I have indeed made it home from the quickest trip to Ohio in the world. I even managed to get some mountain driving practice in.

- [Google Searching](https://moore-mays.org/google-searching/) - Since I spent so much time transcribing and adding Bartholomew Taylor things into my family file, I've decided to go ahead and research him for fun. One of the things I do randomly when I research is I plug the ancestors name into Google and see what comes up. It's pretty interesting to see what

- [Good Ol' Days](https://moore-mays.org/good-ol-days/) - Since we're all friends here, we won't discuss what I did last night. Just know that I deeply am sorry for the constant changing of my mind. The Random Relative Project™ is still happening, but in a different way. I just couldn't get it out of my mind last night. Here I was doing all
- [Follow Friday: Family Search](https://moore-mays.org/follow-friday-family-search/) - I am in love with this website. I love this website so much, I'm pretty sure I'd take the drastic step of marrying it if I could. I'm not experienced or smart enough to get lost in the technical jargon about the website, so you'll have to go elsewhere for that. I have been using
- [Oops!](https://moore-mays.org/oops/) - I had every intention of doing a Surname Saturday post on the Whitts of Kentucky. I'm still working on it, so maybe next Saturday. ^.^ It's completely my own fault I didn't finish it. I got distracted as I often do. The hard part of having so many people I can search on Ancestry, is
- [Tombstone Tuesday: Kindess](https://moore-mays.org/tombstone-tuesday-kindess/) - This Tombstone Tuesday I'm going to share a tombstone picture and a story of kindness. As I often complain about, I live in Maryland while many of my roots are in other states. Due to limited means, I can't really travel. So getting to cemeteries where my relatives actually are is very difficult. That's why
- [To Do List](https://moore-mays.org/to-do-list/) - There are two things I'm trying to focus on right now: Getting the website back up to what it was before it was hacked and I deleted all those un-verified people. I feel like the site is empty now, so I really need to get things back up and sourced properly there. Preparing a to
- [Treasure Chest Thursday: Cemetery Deeds](https://moore-mays.org/treasure-chest-thursday-cemetery-deeds/) - If you told me 10 years ago that I would come to look at pieces of paper as treasure, I would have thought you were crazy! Sure I was curious about all this family tree stuff then, but not to the extent I am now. Reflecting on the great experience I had a few years
- [Not prepared!](https://moore-mays.org/not-prepared/) - Folks, I am not prepared for a trip to the Family History Center in town. I'm going to do it anyway. My mom's co-worker is actually an LDS Church Member and he's said he'll take us in and introduce us around and help us get situated with the place. My first reaction was panic. I'm
- [Sentimental Sunday: Full Circle](https://moore-mays.org/sentimental-sunday-full-circle/) - I was taking pictures of something I'm going to share tomorrow when I found this gem. Since today is Sentimental Sunday, I thought it would be nice to share it today. After this discovery, there is no doubt in my mind that my Great Grandmother must have been a genealogist herself. Here in the midst
- [Part 2: I love this lady](https://moore-mays.org/part-2-i-love-this-lady/) - The more I research my Great Grandmother, the sadder I get that I didn't get to meet her. Everyday her personality and character unlocks itself a bit more. This is Part 2 to yesterday's find. If you haven't seen that post, maybe you should take a peek at just the basics. We'll start off with
- [My Tools: Microsoft One Note](https://moore-mays.org/my-tools-microsoft-one-note/) - Today I was supposed to go into town and visit the LDS Family History Center. It's been there forever and I've never known it. What kind of genealogist am I?! I know the answer to that, the hermit type. I will get my license by December of this year if I have to save my

- [Menzies Mysteries](https://moore-mays.org/menzies-mysteries/) - One of the many mysteries I've always had with my family tree is the Menzies family. Yes I'm pretty sure they came from Scotland, though some lived in England also. When I got my boxes of documents and photos, one of the many things in there were a whole bunch of miscellaneous articles about Menzies
- [Another Menzies Letter](https://moore-mays.org/another-menzies-letter/) - I've got another Menzies letter here. There was quite a bit of correspondance between the cousins/siblings in America and London. I'm certainly not complaining! I couldn't quite make out the date of this letter, but if it is 1888 (I think it might be), I imagine Jennie Menzies-Love's home life is starting to deteriorate. This
- [Surname Saturday: Moore](https://moore-mays.org/surname-saturday-moore/) - My big spring/summer/winter cleaning of my family file and my website database is going very well. Once I made my last decision, it's been smooth, tedious sailing. I love it. I ended up starting with my father's side since I pretty much have it sourced correctly. It's just making everything uniform in my file that
- [Saturday Night Genealogy Fun: William Mays](https://moore-mays.org/saturday-night-william-mays/) - This is my first Saturday Night Genealogy Fun post! This is a prompt put forth by Randy Seaver at Genea-Musings. I thought this one would be particularly fun since a lot of my Mays relatives had a great many children. Determine who is one of the most prolific fathers in your genealogy database or in
- [Mystery Monday: Unknown Boys](https://moore-mays.org/mystery-monday-unknown-boys/) - Usually a Monday post would be something randomly thought up by myself, or it would have something to do with Madness Monday at GeneaBloggers. There is certainly enough madness to go around today. I'm deep into my 2010 Cleanup (Personal and Genealogy). On the genealogy front, I need to shape up my website a bit
- [Tombstone Tuesday: Thorwards](https://moore-mays.org/tombstone-tuesday-thorwards/) - Today I'm choosing to highlight the first known Thorward and his wife. I know that George Thorward immigrated to America very early in his life. There is a family legend that his brother also came over, but that they never spoke. I've never found any evidence of another Thorward, but that doesn't mean one or
- [Did I find him?](https://moore-mays.org/did-i-find-him/) - Today is a glorious day. We're having a girls day. In our pajamas, watching movies (Avatar right now), and I'm doing genealogy on my laptop. I couldn't ask for a better day. Except of course if I might have finally found George Thorward in 1870. George is the first known Thorward I have in America.
- [A Shout Out](https://moore-mays.org/a-shout-out/) - I'm still chugging along on my website. Right now I'm putting up my sources on the Doremus family.

The Brooklyn Daily Eagle Online. My father's family may be from Ireland but they spent a good 40 years in Brooklyn. This site is probably the best find I've ever made. It's also
- [Mystery Monday: #002 Who's the Lady?](https://moore-mays.org/mystery-monday-002-whos-the-lady/) - Today's Mystery Monday centers around this fine lady. I first noticed her in my first Scan-Go-Round. I noticed probably about 4 copies of the picture on the right. Then in my second Scan-Go-Round, I finally found a face front shot of her. Things I know about this picture: Is not Josephine Doremus. Most likely a

- [Treasure Chest Thursday: Great Grandpa](https://moore-mays.org/treasure-chest-thursday-great-grandpa/) - Have I ever mentioned I'm a Genealogy Hoarder? Oh right, I suppose I have. Have I mentioned that my Great-Grandparents were also meticulous record keepers, who never threw out things that might later be important? Oh, I suppose I've told you that too. Here's one of my "treasures", it really gave me a glimpse into

- [Mystery Monday: #003](https://moore-mays.org/mystery-monday-003/) - This is actually a tin-type photo. There is nothing to really go on as to who is in the photo. After finding this photo of Robert Moore's family around 1910-ish, I started thinking maybe Robert is the guy sitting on the right. Robert had two brothers, so maybe it is him, with his two brothers.
- [Busy Weekend](https://moore-mays.org/busy-weekend/) - It's been so busy around here this week. My Aunts and their husbands visited for the first time in like 30 years this weekend. So we were busy cooking, catching up, cooking, and revisiting some old haunts. It was definitely a great visit. I'm getting much better at prying information from people. Don't worry, there
- [Treasure Chest Thursday: Wamboughs](https://moore-mays.org/treasure-chest-thursday-wamboughs/) - This is one of my treasures. This is a piece of music written by John and Tony Wambough. They are related to me through the Loves. John's mother Agnes Love was sister to my Great-Great Grandmother Jennie Love-Thorward. Even though it's not a direct relation, this is probably where my sister gets her musical talent.

He was born in 1852 in Obberstetten, Germany [1. George Thorward Obituary]. I have conflicting dates for his immigration.

What I Know: Clifford Herbert Redford (my great-grandfather) is sitting in the front row on the left.

- [Tombstone Tuesday: Love](https://moore-mays.org/tombstone-tuesday-love/) - If I can get enough time this week, I will be doing a Surname Saturday post on the Loves this weekend. This would be the tombstone of William Wallace Love and his son Percy Everett Love. Thanks to Great-Grandma Llewellyn's Diner Tree, William is no longer my first known Love. I've got droves of them
- [Found You Alfred!](https://moore-mays.org/found-you-alfred/) - I love the Love family. When I first found that the Loves were such a big part of my tree, I always thought it would be easy to research these guys! Boy was I wrong.

Not only is my new site design almost finished, but I'm just about a quarter of the way through re-working my family file. I hit 200 people today and I'm finishing up the Love/Menzies line today.

It doesn't seem to be a Thorward. Things I want to know about this picture: If the other tintype mystery is as I think, the Moore brothers, could this be their father William H Moore?
- [Overall Goals and Purpose](https://moore-mays.org/overall-goals-and-purpose/) - My Purpose My main purpose in doing genealogy is just to learn more about where I come from. It sounds like every other reason in the world, but before I started doing genealogy I knew next to nothing about my family. We live so far from the rest of the family, that I've never had
- [Menzies Leaps and Bounds](https://moore-mays.org/menzies-leaps-and-bounds/) - I've made some great advances in researching the Menzies line of my family! I'm very excited about what I've found.

- [Surname Saturday: Love](https://moore-mays.org/surname-saturday-love/) - LOVE The LOVE family name originates in Scotland. They are a sept of the Clan MacKinnon. A sept is an English word for a division of a family, especially a division of a clan.

- [I Love Technology](https://moore-mays.org/i-love-technology/) - Let me be up front. My usual operating procedure is I get really excited about something, spend all my time on that one thing, then I lose steam.

- [Mary Menzies-Winters](https://moore-mays.org/mary-menzies-winters/) - I've been hard at work tracing down my Menzies ancestors. I thought I didn't have much on this line of the family.

- [Helpful Maps of Scotland](https://moore-mays.org/helpful-maps-of-scotland/) - Apparently when you're researching your family history in Scotland, your Google Earth knowledge doesn't help a whole lot. It helps for sure, but it's hard to really see the lay of the land so to speak. I found two great maps though that really helped me. I found these through Google Image Searches. - I
- [Treasure Chest Thursday: Marriage Records](https://moore-mays.org/treasure-chest-thursday-marriage-records/) - In my eyes, marriage records are a beautiful thing. I could say it's beautiful to know a couple started their life together. That's very true. However, my favorite part of marriage records is that they have maiden names and parent names for the women. One of my oldest and most often gripes is trying to
- [Don't Forget to Document your Information!](https://moore-mays.org/dont-forget-to-document-your-information/) - One thing I forgot to do when I started my family tree many moons ago was document what my immediate family was doing and when.

- [Have some Stats](https://moore-mays.org/have-some-stats/) - Shortly after 10PM on Sunday night, I finished entering my Dad's side of the family into my website. The above image shows the Top 30 Surnames from his side of my family tree. The surprising part is that LOVE is the top surname. I used to only have 12 LOVE family members in my family
- [Oh well, We all get them](https://moore-mays.org/oh-well-we-all-get-them/) - I knew I was tempting fate. Did that stop me? Of course not. It was so simple the first time, surely the second time would prove just as simple, right? I know where I went wrong. I didn't find this record in any index before sending away for it. I was hoping a scribbled date
- [Scottish Naming Patterns](https://moore-mays.org/more-tips/) - I've had a pretty busy few weeks. If all goes smoothly, I will have a Surname Saturday post this weekend.

- [Surname Saturday: Menzies](https://moore-mays.org/surname-saturday-menzies/) - To be quite honest with you, I've started this post 8 different times. Each time I used way too many details then I really wanted to use. It's just once I get started, I can't stop! So here's the run down on my Menzies family, without all the not-needed details. My Menzies officially start with
- [Tombstone Tuesday: William L Mays](https://moore-mays.org/tombstone-tuesday-william-l-mays/) - This is the tombstone of my mom's brother. He passed away when he was just 2 years old. He left a big impact in the family. Until her dying day, my grandmother was still mourning for the little boy she lost so early in life. I always found it kind of surreal that both of

These are the things I've learned so far: City Directories aka The reason I get up early every morning this
- [Treasure Chest Thursday: The Original](https://moore-mays.org/treasure-chest-thursday-the-original/) - The last week, I've been slowly entering my mother's side of the family into my new family file. It's a little slower going because there are more of them than Dad's side. I also had a master list of birthdays I made at the family reunion last year for Dad's side. So I was able
- [Thank You Footnote!](https://moore-mays.org/thank-you-footnote/) - Just wanted to take a minute to post this On Wednesday, I posted about the things I'd learned from the first half of my 7 day free trial with Footnote.com.

Once they got to America they settled
- [Mystery Monday: Alma Lycett](https://moore-mays.org/mystery-monday-alma-lycett/) - I have a huge series of photos that look to be Llewellyn and some friends on a trip. This could coincide with the travel places in the front of her diary, or it could be a whole other time. After discussing it with my Aunts, they said most likely it was a Church trip. That
- [Treasure Chest Thursday: Lt Frank A Greene](https://moore-mays.org/treasure-chest-thursday-lt-frank-a-greene/) - A few months ago, I found a newspaper article thrown into the mix with a bunch of cemetery deeds.

- [September 11, 2001](https://moore-mays.org/september-11-2001/) - Just typing the words gives me chills. I still clearly remember that day.

- [What I've been doing](https://moore-mays.org/what-ive-been-doing/) - I have to admit something. I haven't touched my own genealogy in at least a week. It could be longer. I don't remember now. I've done quick little searches here and there. I've searched Footnote and Ancestry for some things. The plain fact is I got a bit burnt out. Not to the point where
- [William's Letter #1](https://moore-mays.org/williams-letter-1/) - I was writing up a post about William Menzies. When I tried to find the entry where I transcribed his letter, I couldn't find it! It's here somewhere, but for some reason it's disappeared and it's not tagged with the Menzies surname. Don't worry, I'm going to fix issues like these when I redo the
- [William's Letter #2](https://moore-mays.org/williams-letter-2/) - After much debate with myself, I'm pretty sure this isn't a second letter, but the second page of the first letter. I say that because of the context and because there wasn't an address at the top of this one. So there ya go! Please note that I'm transcribing this as it is written. So
