my projects and plans

[edit] Credit where credit is due

I am very grateful to fellow family genealogists, especially:

Don Rigali (who got me started in genealogy; see link below)
Stuart Wright
Wendy and Kelly Marshall
Richard Morgan (see link below)
Ray Toovey
Sam Sloan, AKA M. Ismail Sloan (see link below)
any other genealogists related to me that have shared previously recorded genealogical data with me

I promise to reciprocate at some point -- really! Thank you!

I am also very grateful to those of you that answered my investigative questions. Thank you!

I have saved the best for last. I am eternally grateful to my wife for putting up with my research. She has endured much while I have gadded about for pieces of our family trees, and continues to do so. Sara, thank you for standing by me. I love you.

[edit] My database and tools

My genealogy database program of choice is Personal Ancestral File ("PAF") 5.2.18.0, from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I am thinking about abandoning it for Family Tree Legends (which interfaces with GenCircles, where I publish my database) or Family Tree Maker.

I also contribute to WikiTree, but I had stalled my contributions until it standardizes handling of homonymic dynasties ("Junior", "III", etc.) and I discover the full birth names of some of my daughter's closer relatives. Now there is talk about WikiTree merging with Rodovid, so I'm also stalling because of that. (If you want to join the discussion about the proposed merger, you can find links to the discussion areas here.)

If you want to get a copy of my database, please email me a request. I can send it in one of the PAF formats (best for PAF users) or GEDCOM format (probably necessary for users of all other genealogy database programs).

[edit] Surname lists of everyone in my home

I won't be posting a separate surname list for my daughter because my and my wife's lists comprise it. Since my list is much longer than the combination of the other lists, I've posted mine at the bottom.
